Art craft-Spooky Paper Ghost
You need: white construction paper, scissors, wiggle eyes, thin ribbon or yarn.


To make the ghost's head:

Use a jar or lid to trace a circle from white construction paper or oak tag. Cut out.
Cut off the bottom of the circle to make a straight edge.
Draw a scary mouth toward the straight edge. Glue on two wiggle eyes toward the rounded edge.

For the body:
Cut 5 or 6 think strips of white paper or oak tag.
Flair the strips and tape them to the back of the head.
Use yarn or thin ribbon to make a bow for the top of the head.
This can be the front of a card, name cards for place settings, or even napkin rings (add another paper loop to the back).
Make a bunch with different expressions and different colored bows.These look great as mobiles or string a bunch for a really cute garland.
