Tissue Paper Ghost

Precisely, all you need is 2 pieces of tissue paper from that Kleenex box you've got on your kitchen counter, so you won't be heading to a crafts store for this one. (Can you tell I like using tissue paper for crafting? You can even make a pompom with it!) Combine that with a piece of thread and it's done! So this is what you need:

 Supplies To make tissue paper Ghosts:

  • 2 paper tissues
  • a string (you can make cord yourself like I did here)
  • a pair of googly eyes - or a black marker

HOW TO make a Tissue Paper Ghost

  1) Place a tissue on a flat surface and add another one (crumpled into a tiny ball) in the middle:

2) Tie a knot around the cotton ball to get a head-like form in the middle of the tissue paper:

4) Stick googly eyes or draw 2 black dots with a sharpie on the ghost's head.

Done!

You can make this cute (not scarry at all!) tissue paper ghost in no time. I love it because it's nearly zero cost (how much does a piece of Kleenex cost?) and because you don't need to be precise - or pay a lot of attention - and because it's so easy anyone can make it eyes closed 🙂

Make sure to save this idea to Pinterest:

    I make the Kleenex Ghosts every year by covering a Tootsie Pop and tying with an orange ribbon to hand out to trick or treaters
