Instructions 

1. Prepare the Frame

• Remove the backing and glass from your picture frame.

• Cut your scrapbook paper to fit the size of the frame backing.

• Use Mod Podge or craft glue to adhere the paper to the backing.

• Let it dry completely before moving on.

2. Cut the Yarn

• Cut several pieces of white yarn or rope into 6-inch lengths.
  (You'll need about 10–15 pieces depending on how full you want your ghost.)

3. Make the Ghost’s Head

• Take one piece of yarn, fold it in half, and glue the folded end to the scrapbook paper to form the top of the ghost's head.

• This piece acts as an anchor and helps shape the top of the ghost.

4. Build the Ghost’s Body

• Take the rest of your yarn pieces and arrange them in a “U” shape under the head, filling in the body.

• Glue each piece at the top so the ends hang freely, creating that classic ghostly drape.

• Adjust and layer as needed to make the ghost full and flowing.

5. Add the Face & Bow

• Glue two mini pom poms onto the yarn for eyes.

• Tie a tiny bow using jute twine or ribbon, and glue it near the top of the ghost’s body—under the face or to the side for a cute touch.

6. Assemble the Frame

• Once everything is dry and secure, place your decorated backing back into the frame.

• Leave the glass out so the yarn has room to breathe and gives a 3D effect.
