We love these little ghosts! And we're sure you will also love them. Although we have used them to make this ghostly garland, you can find other uses, such as a keyring if you make a smaller one or a doll to decorate the kid's room.

 

MATERIALS

APLI wool

APLI styrofoam balls

APLI felt

APLI silicone gun

APLI scissors

APLI sticks

Needle

The lid of a box or some rectangular support

 

STEP 1

Take the wool and wrap it around the lid of the box or support you have chosen. About 70-80 turns.

STEP 6

Turn it over and comb the threads so the whole of the ball is covered. Cut out little circles from the felt to make the eyes and stick them on.

STEP 9

And there it is, if you want to add little notices, print the template and adhere it to a stick with adhesive tape. Push the stick into the polystyrene and hang your garland wherever you want.
