ghost craft

You'll need:
White foam meat trays
Hole punch
Yarn
Small bell

Cut a ghost shape in the white foam tray. Punch the eyes in the ghost with a hole puncher. Make a small hole at the top of the ghost's head and one at the center of the bottom of the ghost. Cut two lengths of yarn for the top and the bottom. Attach the bell to the yarn at the bottom.

Ghost or Pumpkin Jars - baby food jar craft
Use for candle holders, teacher gifts or treat holders.

You'll Need:
baby food jars (large for ghosts-small for pumpkins)
white glue or Mod-Podge
tissue paper - white, yellow, and orange
black permanent marker

Dilute the glue with water until it can be easily painted with
a paint brush. Apply the glue to the jar a bit at a time, while applying torn pieces of tissue paper paper napkin.
Cover the jar completely (one or two layers) and dry overnight. Use a permanent marker to make the face of
a ghost or Jack -o-lantern.
Kit's Tips: Using torn paper instead of cut, adds a nice texture to this tissue decoupage. Combine orange and yellow paper for a realistic texture to the pumpkin.

Place a safety tea light into the container.
If you are giving this as a gift--fill the jar with candy corn or chocolates and tie a piece of green raffia around the top.
It couldn't hurt to write a small note about removing the raffia before lighting the candle.
