Halloween Craft Projects - Hanging Ghosts

These are so much fun and easy enough for children to make.

What you need: Old pillow cases; scissors; large balloons; string; markers.

What to do:

1. Blow up balloons and tie off and attach string to knot.

2. Cut a hole in one corner of the pillow case.

3. Place the balloon inside the pillowcase and move to the cut corner. Pull the string through the hole.

4. Holding balloon in place, mark off the areas of the pillowcase where you will cut eyes and mouth or you may just draw them on with the markers. You may also use cut felt pieces for facial features as in photo above.

5. Remove the balloon and draw or cut the shapes you desire on the pillow case. Cut slits if desired on bottom of pillow case for fringe look.

6. Place the balloons back into place, cut string to desired length and hang. These are excellent hanging from trees on a breezy evening. You may also achieve the same effect with sheets and bigger balloons for larger ghosts, why not make a whole family.
