Materials

  • 4 toilet paper rolls (10 cm each)
  • White tissue paper or cheesecloth (30 × 30 cm per ghost)
  • Black construction paper (for eyes and mouth)
  • Battery-operated tealight candles (1 per ghost)
  • Clear tape or glue stick
  • String or white ribbon (50 cm per lantern)
  • Scissors and hole punch

Instructions

  • Cut your black paper into small ovals for eyes and a larger oval for the mouth. Glue them near the top of the toilet paper roll to form your ghost face.
  • Place a tealight candle inside each roll to create the glowing effect.
  • Drape tissue paper or cheesecloth over the roll, letting it hang loosely to mimic a ghostly body. You now trim the bottom edges for a tattered look.
  • Punch a small hole at the top and thread a string through for hanging. Then secure with a knot.
  • Hang your glowing ghost lanterns in clusters or along a window for a magical floating display.
