There are so many fun ways to make ghosts for your Halloween decorations. Here’s a project that You can make in no time at all, and even the tiniest of hands can help with. You need coffee filters and googly eyes, but if you don’t have the craft eyes, you could just use black paper or even crayons to color the eyes. These ghost decorations can be used individually or tape to a string and hang like streamers.

Using liquid glue works much better than glue sticks, I think… and glue dots would be great too. For some extra spooky fun, you could paint the ghosts with glow in the dark paint.
