Pillowcase Ghost

How we did it:
Materials List
- pillowcase
- scissors
- permanent markers (e.g., sharpies)
- cardboard (to protect your workspace)
-
I found these pillowcases at a thrift shop. I drew the outline of a ghost for my young kids, but older kids can do this step on their own. Make sure the head and arms hit the top seam; those ares are where the ghost will hang off your tree.
-
My five-year-old told me exactly how she wanted the ghost to look ("now make the bottom curve up and down..."). I cut around the ghost and up the side seams, but I left the top seams as is.
-
Emma got to work on the important stuff: giving our ghost a spooky face! (Make sure this step is done over cardboard, to protect your workspace.)
-
When the faces were done, we hung these guys in our front yard. Now they're ready to spook trick-or-treaters!
