Step 1.
Take a piece of fluorescent clay (about 30mm size. Make a mould out of
it.
Step 2.
Next, make a shape of it as shown in the picture. Create a fine wire
loop. Fix it in to the clay. Then position a magnet in to the clay as
shown in the picture.
Step 3.
Create hands out of clay for the ghost. Take a pair of scissors or
scapula and with the help of it, cut out fingers as shown in the
picture. The Height should be approximately 50mm.
Step 4.
Finally, add some features to the mouth to give it a ghostly
impression.
When your ghost is ready, suspend it anywhere in your room. With the
help of a regular magnet you can move your ghost in any direction you
want. Rest is up to you. Use your imagination and scare the hell out
of your friends.
Making this cute ghost is nothing but a child's play. A short and simple craft for you.
You will need:
1) A white balloon
2) Scissors
3) 2 white plastic grocery bags
4) Tape
5) A black marker
Instructions:
Step 1: Cut the handles off the white plastic grocery bags. If there
are colored markings on the bags, cut them off too.
Step 2: Leave the seam at the bottom of the bags intact. Cut the bags
into strips.
Step 3: Blow up the white balloon.
Step 4: Tape the plastic bags around the end of the balloon (tape the
bags in a circle a few inches from one end of the balloon). If you
plan to hang the ghost up as a decoration, tape the plastic bags
around the plain end of the balloon, leaving the tied end exposed so
that you can tie a string to the top of the ghost.
Step 5: Using a black marker, draw two eyes and a mouth on the balloon.
Now you have a spooky ghost that can be used as a Halloween decoration
or as a toy (but not for very young children). As a Halloween
decoration, it is great. You can hang them at the top of the party
hall with the help of light strings and when the party heats up, you
can cut the strings and make the balloons fly. You'll see that the
ghosts fly really well.
An all-time Halloween favourite, this scary Halloween mask is simple to make.
You will need:
1) A paper plate
2) Crayons or markers. Tempera paint can also be used.
3) Scissors
4) Hole punch
5) Green yarn or elastic
Instructions:
Step 1: Grab the paper plate. On the backside, draw the face of a
jack-o'-lantern.
Step 2: Cut out the eyes, nose, and mouth from the drawing you've
made. Decorate the rest of the jack-o'lantern.
Step 3: Punch a hole on each side of the mask.
Step 4: Tie a length of green yarn (an elastic band may also be used)
to each hole of the jack-o'-lantern.
Did you know that you can easily create Halloween lanterns out of those old tin cans?
You will need:
1) Cans having a smooth surface (smooth surface accurately displays
your designs),
2) A hammer,
3) A nail.
Instructions?
Step 1: Use a nail to press very shallow points into the cans,
designing Halloween images like, a jack-o-lanterns, skulls, cats,
half-moons, and stars. If you don't want to do this free-hand, tape a
drawing onto the can.
Step 2: To make holes on the cans without denting the metal, fill the
can with water, and freeze it. Next, hammer simple designs into the
can with the nail. One or two good taps should do it, depending on the
size of the hole that you want.
Step 3: When your cans are complete, place tea lights or votive
candles inside to illuminate.
Step 4: Don't get scared yourself.
You will need:
1 -9 husky traditional chair leg (available at your local home
improvement store)
Black Ceram Coat Paint
Green Ceram Coat Paint
3 inch Felt Witch Hat
Orange paper twist
Spanish Moss
Orange cross-stitch thread
Silk Fall Leaf
Small Plastic Spider
3 1/2inch Black Buttons
Sponge brush
Hot glue gun
Black Pigma pen
Instructions:
1. Begin by removing the screw from the bottom of the chair leg. This
requires a fair amount of strength. Grip the screw
with a pair of pliers and twist the chair leg.
2. Paint the ball of the chair leg green. (This will be the head)
3. Paint the rest of the chair leg black.
4. Thread the orange cross-stitch string through the holes of one of
the buttons. Tie the thread off and repeat with the
other buttons.
5. Hot glue some Spanish moss to the back, top, and sides of the head.
6. Draw a face on the front of the head with the pigma pen.
7. Hot glue the buttons down the front of the witch's body.
8. Hot glue the hat to the top of the head. Embellish the hat by hot
gluing on the silk leaf and the plastic spider.
9. Untwist the paper twist and cut a thin strip. Tie a bow of the
paper twist at the witch's neck.
You will need:
Tootsie roll pops
6" squares of white fabric, with edges cut using pinking shears
6" lengths of black and orange ribbon, one for each "ghost"
10"x12" sheet of 2" thick Styrofoam
Black spray paint
Fine line Sharpie marker
Black acrylic paint & paint brush
Toothpicks
Paring knife, or other blade suitable to cut Styrofoam
Misc. small branch pieces (optional)
Instructions:
Of course the simple part is making the ghosts. Simply tie a square of
white fabric over the Tootsie roll, securing it at
the "neck" with a piece of ribbon tied in a bow.
The graveyard involves a couple steps that an adult should do - (1)
the cutting and (2) the spray painting. The rest of
it can easily be made by kids age 5 and up.
Cut the Styrofoam in half width-wise. Out of one half, draw off 3
tombstone shapes. Using a sharp knife or X-acto, cut
out these shapes, trimming it so that it is as smooth as possible.
Using 2 toothpicks each, secure the tombstones on top of the second
half of foam. Be sure to place these far enough apart
to allow room for other decorations.
Carefully "spritz" the whole display with black spray paint. Take care
not to spray for prolonged periods of time in any
one spot, as the spray paint will melt the foam. Just use quick, short
bursts of paint. Spray in this manner until you
have the look you want. Allow the paint to dry completely.
Now let the kids decorate the tombstones. Remove them from the base
foam. Let them use markers to write funny names, draw
cracks, and decorate them however they would like. If there are areas
that you would like to show more than others (such
as the names vs. the cracks) go over them with black paint.
Note: You will notice that the marker will melt the foam a little -
just encourage the kids not to press too hard.
When the tombstones are done, place them back on the foam base where
they were. You will see that a white blank was left
where the spray paint did not reach - this makes it easy to put them
back in place.
Have the kids gather interesting gnarly-looking twigs from the yard
and poke these in different spots around the
"graveyard. Finish off the masterpiece by poking the Sucker Ghosts
here and there.

3. Sponge white eyes and a white tooth on the pot. Sponge a yellow
nose on the pot. If you do not like the coverage fill
in spots with a Q-tip. Once the eyes dry sponge blue pupils on them.
Let the paint dry. With a Q-tip add a sparkle of
white paint.
4. Draw around the eyes and nose with the black paint pen. Add a
mouth, pumpkin lines, and eyebrows with the black paint pen.

hanging out of the side holes. String it in and out of each hole for
the hair line..
Step 5: Add on the eyes and mouth if you have one.
Step 6: Take the black material and make a triangle hat.
Step 7: Take the black felt and cover the back side of the bottle.
