Directions for how to make a ghosts Halloween hanging decoration:
Grab your supplies and head to the kitchen. If you have a child that does a good job coloring, draw the outline of the ghost’s face with a black sharpie and let them fill in the circles. If you have younger kids that aren’t coloring yet, no problem! Go ahead and draw 2 circles for the eyes and a circle for the mouth on the front of the cup with your black marker. Next, add 2 slits to the top of each of your foam cups. This is where your kids will lace the ribbon through.
After you have made the slits, let your child (with your help) guide the ribbon through the slits starting by going down through the first slit and back up and out through the second slit. Do this for each of the cups. Once you have strung the ribbon through the cups, you have completed your Halloween ghost garland! Your ghost decorations for Halloween are ready to be hung up! Just use scotch tape or masking tape to stick on doorway or mantle.
