Tissue Ghost Craft

Find out how you can create small ghosts using facial tissues.

  • Age Guideline: 5 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 20 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

  • White, Facial Tissue
  • Fishing Line or White Thread
  • Black Marker (optional)
  • Scissors

Instructions:
Crumple up one piece of facial tissue into a ball shape. Put it in the center of another tissue, and fold that tissue up around the ball. Cut a long piece of fishing line or thread and tie it around the tissue to hold the ball in place. Don't pull it too tight, just enough to hold the tissue ball in place! Leave one of the the fishing line or thread long to hang your ghost by.

Draw a face on your ghost using a marker (optional)!

Suggestions from Laura Ruelas: Make this ghost using the steps above but use a sucker as the filling for the head!
