Easy Yarn and Glue Ghosts

Who's ready for Halloween? We are! In fact, we've already started the Halloweenie celebrations this weekend with a family party! It was a blast!

We're still going strong over here with our Halloween crafts and we probably will keep making some even after Halloween.. cause it's just too much fun!

So if you're looking for another easy Halloween craft for the kiddos, try this one!

The boys loved making these but didn't like the waiting for them to dry part. Next time we will make them closer to the evening so that they can sleep while they dry. :)

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

- White Yarn
- Elmers School Glue
- Popsicle Sticks
- Wax Paper
- Googley Eyes
- Black Construction Paper
- Scissors

DIRECTIONS:

STEP 1: We began by laying out some wax paper and taping it to the table. Wax paper is super slippery on wooden tables so I would suggest taping it down.

STEP 2: Next we cut some pieces of yarn and the kids shaped them onto the paper.

STEP 3: We then squirted some glue into the middle of the yarn pieces and the boys started spreading the glue as evenly as they could making sure to touch the yarn all around.

STEP 4: Once the middle of the yarn is all covered with a good layer of glue it was time to place the googley eyes and construction paper mouths. We then left them out to dry. It took about 10 hours. I would suggest leaving them out to dry all night.

STEP 5: Once dry, I helped the boys carefully remove the ghosts from the wax paper. We cut any extra glue pieces off that were hanging over the yarn.

That's it! So fun! Now we have cute little ghosts decorated around the house!
