Scissors

Instructions

Step 1
Cut several strips of white crepe paper for each ghost.

Step 2
Glue the strips along the bottom edge of each paper plate.

Step 3
Cut two small ghost hands from white paper and glue one to each side of the plate.

Step 4
Cut two black oval eyes and one larger oval mouth from black cardstock.

Step 5
Glue the eyes and mouth onto each plate.

Step 6
Punch a small hole near the top of each plate and thread twine through it.

Tips

Tear the ends of the paper strips for a ragged ghostly look.
Vary the face expressions to give each ghost personality.
Use lightweight plates so the garland hangs easily.
