GLOWING GHOST

YOU'LL NEED:
One 45-inch square of fabric or a pillowcase
Crayons or markers
Scissors
1 large paper bag
Fabric paint or tempera paint
Extra-tacky white crafts glue or white crafts glue
Beads, buttons, glitter, or sequins
1 hat or headband

STEP 1
First put the fabric over your head.  Have an adult carefully mark eye holes with a crayon.  Then take the fabric off your head and use scissors to cut out the eye holes.

Fold the fabric into a triangle with the eyes in the front.  And put a paper bag between the 2 layers of fabric.

STEP 2
Use fabric paint to draw a face on the front of the fabric.  If you like, draw a design on the fabric, too.

STEP 3
For the costume decorations, glue beads onto the fabric.

To wear the costume, place the fabric over your head.  Hold it in place by wearing a hat or headband. Boooo! You've made a glowing ghost.


SOME COOL IDEAS:
Be sure to have an adult help you do this project. Take these extra precautions to ensure a safe and fun event:
-- Mark and cut all holes before wearing the costume.
-- Cut all holes larger than you think you need. A bigger hole will ensure kids can see safely.
-- Make sure to create holes for a child to breathe through (nose and mouth).
-- Do not tie the costume in place. Ties could get caught and harm the child.
