Ghostly Graveyard
Free instructions for making a fun Halloween craft - submitted by Laura Paresa.

Materials Needed:

  • Vinyl exam gloves
  • Poly-fiberfill
  • Black sharpie
  • Dead twigs
  • Tombstone shaped cookies
  • Chinete "Clear Crystal" plastic cups
  • Glue gun
Instructions:
Lightly stuff a vinyl glove with poly-fiberfill, the fingers, thumb and half of the hand. Tie a knot on the open end. Have the children draw faces on the finger tips, as shown, with the sharpie to make 5 ghosts. Set aside.

Hot glue the dead branches to the inside bottom and side of the plastic cup. Hot glue the ghosties to the inside base of the plastic cup using the knot as the touch point for the glue. Add some poly-fiberfill in front and in back of the glove so that it spills over the edge like eerie fog. Add "tombstone" cookies for "realism".

An inexpensive craft that is easy to make and fun to do.
