So, last weekend we made a silly ghosts garland. It’s a fun Halloween project for crafting with kids. The googly eyes and pulling cotton apart are two fun activities that involve the kid’s excitement. A very simple and easy kids craft that will only require things you already have around the house. And a good time with kids.

Find an easy ghost costume and pom pom spiders along with FREE Halloween printable wall art. I bought some fake pumpkins which we ended up painting to look like Jack-O-lanterns. It was so much fun.

Instructions:

  • Have your kids pull apart cotton while you drizzle some mod podge or white glue on the gift tags.
  • Now press cotton onto the gift tags. Making sure the entire area is covered.
  • Fix the googly eyes over the tags. We used glue dots because they are less messy.
  • You can also use the same glue you used for sticking cotton onto the tags.
  • Let them dry. Hang onto a pipe cleaner. And you’re done!

It was my son’s idea to put random googly eyes on them. They look silly this way!

And that’s how we came up with this silly ghosts garland.

Hope you like this idea and will give it a try with your young crafters.
