how to make cardboard ghosts

In the spirit of Halloween, COS® decided to make some small cardboard ghosts for our office decoration, this is how to make them. Arts and crafts are a great way to stimulate creativity and have fun, and these ghostly figures are perfect for creating a spooky atmosphere in the classroom. 

For some fun Halloween ideas with kids, you can’t go past arts and crafts. Have a look at our video to watch these spooky ghosts come to “life”!

Step 1:

Using black cardboard and a white crayon create a spooky ghost outline before colouring it in.

Step 2:

Next, grab some PVA glue and joggly eyes of your choosing. Stick the eyes onto your ghost. Try experimenting with a three-eyed monster ghost for an extra-spooky effect.

Step 3:

To show that it’s night time, add some gold stars around the ghost.

Step 4:

Using your white crayon again make a small circular mouth on your Ghost. Once you’re happy, use the PVA glue to outline your ghost. When it dries, it will leave a spooky glossy outline. 

Below is a link to each of the crafty products we used for this project.

Step 5:

Pop your spooky Halloween props around the classroom and get everyone into the mood of the season!
