A Boo Craft



  Time on my hands and a desire to craft and make decorations for Halloween had me whip up a ghost.

  First up is another dollar store craft.  It started with a small plastic gourd.


  Paint the gourd white

 and apply your face.


I used a sharpie but any marker should work as long as you wait for the paint to dry.


  I thought he needed some flair so I tore up some toilet paper and glued it around the bottom of him.  I tried a coffee filter first which didn't look that bad uncut it gave the appearance of a ballet dancer.  Tissue paper or hek if you paint your ghost grey, newspapers would look neat.

  I have thought of many possibilities for him.  He could have holes drilled in him and make a neat banner, float them off your overhead lights over your table or you could even hang him outside cautiously.

  This is a neat and fast way to make a unique ghost.  Another dollar store craft to save some money and decorate for Halloween.


Boo.
