Transparent Ghost
P.J. explains how to make a simple halloween ghost craft using wax paper and a few other supplies.

Materials Needed:

  • Wax Paper
  • Glitter
  • Construction Paper
  • String
  • Newspaper
Instructions:

First, take two large pieces of wax paper and put them together. Cut out a large ghost shape from the waxed paper. (Coloring pages like this one are great sources for ghost shapes.). Next, cut out eyes and a ghostly shape mouth from construction.

Lay one ghost wax paper on a piece of newspaper. Position the eyes and mouth, and also sprinkle with glitter. Plae the other wax paper ghost shape on top, lining up the edges. Place another piece of newspaper on top of your ghost and iron it with an iron on medium heat. Run the iron over the newspaper until both piece of wax paper are stuck together.

Once you ghost is done, you can cut or tear vertical strips into the bottom of your ghost- this will give it a flying and floating look when you hang it. Poke a hole at the top of the ghost's head, thread through string, and hang up your creation.
