• Make a whole group of ghosts. Glue them onto a piece of cardboard for a little scene that you can display at Halloween or anytime if you simply just like ghosts.
• Paper works best stuffed under the felt.

• Never wash a paper ghost! If your felt ghost gets wet, wash it by hand, never in the washing machine.

• 2 or 3-strands of embroidery thread or fine string
• Fabric or paper for the head
• Felt for the body
• Fabric scissors
