Making Halloween Ghosts

Materials:

• White fabric (such as muslin, cheesecloth, or lightweight cotton)
• Scissors
• Stuffing (such as polyester fiberfill, batting, or shredded newspaper)
• Thread (white or black)
• Needle
• Black marker or fabric paint
• White ribbon or yarn

Instructions:

1. Cut the Fabric:
   • Cut a circle of fabric, approximately 18 inches in diameter.
   • For a more elongated ghost shape, cut an oval instead of a circle.
2. Prepare the Fabric:
   • Fold the fabric in half, with the right sides together.
   • Press the folded edge to create a crisp crease.
3. Sew the Fabric:
   • Using a running stitch, sew along the edge of the fabric, starting at the crease.
   • Leave a 2-inch opening for stuffing.
   • Make sure the stitches are small and even, to prevent the stuffing from coming out.
4. Turn the Fabric Right Side Out:
   • Carefully turn the fabric right side out, using a point turner or a chopstick to push out the corners.
5. Stuff the Fabric:
   • Generously stuff the fabric with your chosen stuffing material.
   • Distribute the stuffing evenly to create a plump and rounded ghost shape.
6. Sew the Opening Closed:
   • Using a ladder stitch or a slip stitch, sew the opening closed.
   • Make sure the stitches are invisible from the front of the ghost.
7. Draw the Ghost’s Face:
   • Use a black marker or fabric paint to draw a simple ghost face on the front of the ghost.
   • You can draw a wide range of expressions, from friendly to spooky.
8. Add a Ribbon or Yarn:
   • Cut a piece of white ribbon or yarn, approximately 12 inches long.
   • Tie the ribbon or yarn around the ghost’s neck, creating a bow or a loop.
   • This will add a touch of charm and make it easier to hang the ghost.
9. Hang Your Halloween Ghost:
   • Display your handmade Halloween ghost anywhere you like—from a doorknob to a tree branch.
   • Its ethereal appearance is sure to add a festive touch to your Halloween decorations.
