Arts and Crafts Project for Halloween

This is an easy fun activity. Create Hanging Ghosts. For grade school children.
Needed items: White soft nose tissue or paper tissue. String. Scissors. Marker. Little rubber ball the size of a quarter/or something similar.
Wrap two tissues over rubber ball which is the head. Tissue should hang equally, downwards, on all sides. If you plan to make only one ghost you can keep rubber ball in. If you plan to make more, take rubber ball out and stuff head area with half a tissue. Cut six to seven inches of string. Tie string around ghost's neck so it can hang from branch. But before hanging you can, with a marker, dot eyes on the face and make an O for the mouth. I've seen kids hang lots of tissue ghosts from branches for more effect.
