Spooktacular Ghost Arts and Crafts Ideas
First up: classic ghost garlands! All you need are white paper plates, markers, string, and scissors. Let your kids draw silly faces on the plates, cut them into ghost shapes, and string them together for a spooky-cute decoration. Perfect for mantels or doorways!
Want to add some glow to your ghostly creations? Try painting mason jars with glow-in-the-dark paint. Once dry, add some googly eyes to create glowing ghost luminaries. They’re perfect for lining your walkway or adding a spooky touch to your windowsills.
For a truly ethereal touch, try making ghost windsocks. Use white fabric scraps, glue, and a plastic bottle. Decorate with black felt eyes and mouths. Hang them from a tree branch or your porch to watch them dance in the autumn breeze.
Don’t forget about the simplest of all crafts: handprint ghosts! Simply paint your child’s hand white and press it onto black construction paper. Once dry, add eyes and a spooky mouth. These make adorable keepsakes and can be framed or given as gifts.
To make a floating ghost, use a balloon and drape white fabric over it. Secure the fabric at the neck of the balloon. Use a marker to draw a face. Hang it from the ceiling for a classic, spooky effect. It is a perfect craft for kids or parents.
So, gather your supplies and unleash your inner ghost artist! These simple ghost arts and crafts are a fantastic way to celebrate Halloween with your family while adding a personal, handmade touch to your decorations. What spooky creation will you conjure up first?
