In this post find a printable free ghost template you can use for your variety of Halloween crafts from painting pumpkins to carving pumpkins and so much more. I used it to paint ghost on plain white fabric to make easy boys costume. You can make ghost luminaries by painting white sheets with ghost face using this ghost printable as well.
My 4 year old is so fascinated by Halloween and all the cute scary spookiness that comes with it. He keeps talking about witches, friendly ghosts and pumpkin faces. We bought him a spider man costume for Halloween. But he insisted that he wants to be a ghost.
So he was a spider man at night going trick or treating. But a happy Halloween ghost at school. Today’s tutorial is about making a cute scary ghost for little boys.

Easy Boys Costume Tutorial
Make It:
Free Ghost Template
Start by printing the free ghost printable.
Use ink effects to paint the ghost on the paper. Place it colored side facing the fabric/ t-shirt. And iron it on the fabric. You can find complete tutorial and information about ink effects fabric painting.
Then I outlined the blurry ghost face with sharpie to complete the look. Since the weather is pretty cold here. I accessorized it with a hat, gloves, black jeans and a ghost puppet.
You can also paint the hat or stick cutouts on it. Saying “boo” or something like that!
There! My job was done as he was pretty excited for the morning.
Happy Halloween from our family.
Hope you had fun. And keep an eye on those candies your little ones get.
Enjoy trick or treating.
Just for a fun recape, enjoy these fun ideas from this year.
Thanks, Hani, you’re amazing! I don’t know how you find the time to do it all!!
Smart with the accessories. I wish my mom was more creative in that department when she’d dress me for Halloween. I’d be bundled in so many layers that people would ask me what I’m supposed to be and I’d have to unzip and remove all my layers to show them -.- I appreciated staying warm though!!
