Easy Halloween Craft: Lollipop Ghosts
When my youngest son Jack was in Kindergarten and he wanted to make treats to pass out to his class for Halloween. This was the first time he was going to make something for his class, so I wanted to be sure that he could help with the project. These coffee filter ghosts are a take on a common Halloween craft of making ghosts with tissues. Using the coffee filters it easier for little hands to work with since they are thicker – no torn ghosts!
Supplies:
- round lollipops (I used Tootsie Pops)
- coffee filters
- 1/8″ black ribbon
- black marker
- scissors
Cut a piece of black ribbon and set aside. Take 2 coffee filters and place a lollipop in the center. Gather the filters around the lollipop and twist slightly. Wrap the ribbon around the lollipop and tie in a knot. You can leave it as is, or tie it in a bow.
Draw a face on the ghosts using the marker.
Separate the layers of the coffee filters and fluff to make a full ghost “skirt.”
These ghosts took little time, we finished 30 for his classmates in an afternoon, and Jack was so excited to share with his friends!
