Too Cute To Spook!!

This trio of ghosts was so fun to create!

{Maybe because my little ones were EXTRA involved in the process...

which always makes for an adventure.}

Here is what you need for the ghosts:

White Felt

Black Buttons

Black Embroidery Floss/Needle

Stuffing

 

Draw up a pattern any shape you want.  Mine were pretty big and each filled up a piece of copy paper.  I didn't have room to draw the bottom piece on the paper, so I left room on the material to cut it out.

See how I left some extra material when I cut the bottoms? 

You will need that to tie your bow around.

Next step....embroidery a simple smile and add some button eyes. 

Now, haul out the sewing machine....get the kids situated on your lap (because you know as soon as you fire that baby up, that is where they want to be)...and sew around the ghosts, right sides together, leaving the bottom open.   

Turn right side out, and stuff. 

Now you need to make some stands.  I used a small square of wood that I drilled a hole in, inserted a dowel, and painted black  I cut my dowels different lengths so the ghosts are at various heights. 

Put your dowel up through the bottom of the ghost, and tie with a big burlap bow!
