Make a string of jack-o’-lanterns or ghosts to hang around a room. These simple-to-make strings make a great Halloween decoration! You can drape the strings across rooms, over windows, or from chandeliers.
- Construction paper (orange and black for pumpkins, white and black for ghosts)
- Crayons or markers
- Scissors
- Glue, tape, or staples
- A long piece of green or black yarn or string
Instructions
Draw a jack-o’-lantern’s face on a piece of orange paper, or a ghost on white paper. Make sure to draw a long stem on the top (your pumpkin or ghost will hang from this stem, which will be folded over).
Cut out the pumpkin or ghost. Make eyes, a nose, and a mouth from black paper (or use a black crayon or marker).
Fold the pumpkin’s stem in half. Fold the ghost’s “stem” completely behind the ghost.
Make some more pumpkins or ghosts, and attach them to a long string. Use green yarn for pumpkins, a black string for ghosts. Attach them using tape, glue, or staples.
Hang your string of jack-o’-lanterns or ghosts across the room for a wonderful Halloween decoration!
