Step 3
Step 4
Step 6

Cut a length of white yarn (around 20cm in length) and arrange it in an "n" shape on top of the parchment paper - this is the body of the ghost.
Cut a few short pieces of yarn and place them alongside the base of the ghost.
Cut a short length of craft wire (About 2 centimeters and form it into another "n" shape - place this under the yarn at the top of the ghost shape - this forms a hanging loop for the ghost.
Squeeze glue into the center of the yarn - keep going until the entire area of the ghost is filled - you must make sure that the glue touches the yarn at the top and sides.
Drop Googly eyes on top of the glue and if desired sprinkle glitter
Allow to dry - this will take some time (over a day)
Once the glue is dry, carefully peel your ghost off the parchment paper and hang!

Tips

You can use a paperclip instead of craft wire to form the hanging loop
You will use a considerable amount of glue for this activity!
IT really does take at least a day for this to dry - possibly several days - but they are worth the wait.
