Instructions 

Wrap the Yarn
Take your piece of construction paper and wrap white yarn around it about 20 times. This will form the body of your ghost.

Cut the Loops
Slide the yarn off the roll carefully. Use scissors to cut through the bottom loops of the yarn so they hang freely.

Form the Ghost’s Head
Take a small piece of yarn and tie it about 1 inch down from the top, creating a round “head” shape for your ghost. Tie tightly and knot securely.

Add the Spooky Face
Glue on two black pom-poms for the eyes and one for the nose.

Repeat the Process
Create at least 4 ghosts, but feel free to make as many as you’d like depending on the length of your garland.

String the Garland
Cut a piece of jute rope or twine to your desired garland length. Slide the top of each ghost’s head onto the rope, spacing them evenly.

Hang & Enjoy
Hang your ghostly garland across a mantel, window, mirror, or party table for instant Halloween spirit.
