Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Draw an outline of a ghost on cardstock, and cut along the outline.
Step 2
Once you've cut your ghost outline, draw and cut out the eyes.
Tip
Fold the paper at the center of the eye and cut a slit. This will make cutting out the rest of the eye much easier.
Step 3
Tape the end of the EL wire anywhere along the edge of the ghost.
Step 4
Continue to tape along the body. Then, tape EL wire on the outline of each eye.
Step 5
When you're done, you can let the rest of the EL wire hang to the ground, or tape the wire to the back of the ghost. If you hide the EL wire on the back, use tape to secure the controller and extra wire.
Final result!
