Materials

  • White burlap fabric (18×24 inches)
  • Black felt (for eyes and mouth)
  • Orange and black ribbon (12 inches each for the bow)
  • Twine (2 feet)
  • 3-4 Small fabric triangles (3×3 inches each, in orange)
  • Fabric paint or markers (optional for letters or dots)
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Scissors
  • Cardboard or foam board (for backing, optional)

Instructions

  • Cut the burlap into a ghost shape, round at the top with wavy edges at the bottom. You can double-layer it for sturdiness or glue it onto a piece of cardboard backing.
  • Cut out two oval eyes and one round mouth from black felt. You glue them onto the upper center of the ghost.
  • Tie or glue an orange and black ribbon bow at the top of the ghost’s head for a festive accent.
  • Create a small pennant banner by gluing the orange fabric triangles onto a length of twine. Then add painted letters like “BOO” or white dots for detail.
  • Stretch the banner across the ghost’s lower section and glue or tie the ends to the sides.
  • Finally, add a twine loop at the top for hanging.
