Halloween already? Trick or treat yourself and your kids with this cute, fun, and easy Halloween craft. These homemade ghost cards for the spooky (or not spooky) season are such an easy DIY craft for kids to make themselves, and would be perfect to give to a teacher or friend with a fun little candy treat! Best of all, we were able to reuse some of our favourite removable wallpaper - Ivy Cottage!Â
So go ahead and enjoy an effortless and budget-friendly arts and craft night with your kiddos using the following easy tutorial.
Â
All you need is:
- leftover wallpaper (floral wallpaper used linked here) and card stock
- white, pink and black paint
- dried florals or whatever you can find outside!
- stamps (you can totally use a marker!)
- glue gun
Step 1
Cut out the size of wallpaper you want, and then do the same for the card stock, but smaller.
Step 2Â
Paint your child’s palm and 4 fingers, but leave out the thumb.
Step 3Â
Gently press their hand into the card stock and add a little pressure. Slowly peel their hand away.
Step 4Â
Allow the “ghost” to dry, and the pain some rosy cheeks and a smiley face.
Step 5Â
Add your floral crown!
Step 6
We added “hey boo,” but you can leave that out or just add whatever you would like.
