HOW TO MAKE TORN PAPER GHOST
Follow the simple steps to make your own Torn Paper Ghost
1. DRAW YOUR SHAPE: Lightly draw a ghost shape on your background card stock or use our free template. We used a purple piece of card stock, but green paper or orange would be fun options as well!
2. TEAR PAPER: grab your white paper and tear into pieces. Our pieces are usually 1/2 inch to 1 inch in size but any size will do! The smaller the paper the more gluing required.
3. GLUE PAPER: glue your torn white piece of paper into your ghost shape with a glue stick until the shape is full.
4. ADD FACIAL FEATURES : cut out your eye shapes from your black paper, along with a mouth and two pink cheeks. You can also add a white pupil to each of the eyes with a white paint pen if desired.
The Halloween season is the perfect time to create with your kids! Paper art like this is one of our favorite ways to craft as it’s simple, doesn’t require many supplies and is great for building imagination, hand strength in littles and fine motor skills.
