Our kids had the best time making these tissue paper ghosts and they were so excited to hang them up in our front window.

Tissue Paper Ghost Craft
Materials
- Tissue paper (white and black)
- Paper plate
- String
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions:
Start off by cutting the edges off of your paper plate. This will give you a more slender vs wide ghost.
Next, drape the white tissue paper over over the plate and glue the tip down on the front of the plate.
Fold down one side of the tissue paper around the plate and glue it down.
Fold down the other side and glue it to the plate as well.
Cut small squares of black tissue paper. Crinkle them up and glue them to the front of the ghost to make the eyes and mouth.
Take two small pieces of white tissue and glue them to the black eyes. Use a hole punch to punch a hole in the top of the ghost, punching through the plate and tissue paper.
There you have it! An adorable tissue paper ghost craft that you can hang up and enjoy for the Halloween season.
Our kids couldn’t get enough of these cute little ghosts and were so excited to show everyone their homemade crafts.
