This spooky ghost
necklace is very fun and easy to make. It is easy enough for children
to do and they will love to wear these necklaces to school on
Halloween. Or, several can be made and they can be made into a small
mobile. I even saw someone make these into cute dangling earrings once!
Things Needed:
- Hair pin or paper clip
- Black thread
- White glue
- Construction paper to make eyes and
mouth, or seed beads, or googly eyes
- A piece of wax paper
- Paper plate
- Scissors
1. Open up each hairpin slightly to make it the size of the ghost you
want. Or, straigten out a paper clip and bend into a V shape. Tie the
black thread on the top of each hairpin, long enough to make a
necklace.
2. Cut a small of wax
paper and rest it in a paper plate. Make sure the entire surface is
flat, so the glue will not run.
3. Cut out some small eyes and a mouth from the black construction
paper, or use googly eyes or seed beeds.
4. Add the white glue
inside the hairpin to form the ghost’s body. Fill in any gaps
so the glue completely touches the hairpin all around.
5. Place the eyes and mouth in the glue to make a face.
6. Allow to dry overnight.
7. When completely dry,
slowly peel up the ghost from the wax paper. Use the scissors to trim
off any of the excess glue that might have crept around the edges. Very
carefully peel away the paperclip or the hairpin, and slide it off
through the thread knot. Your thread will still be attached since the
glue dried on it where it was tied. Your ghost is now ready for
wearing.
