Gil the Ghost

Materials:

1 sheet black construction paper

1/4 sheet brown construction paper

1 white paper napkin

scrap white construction paper

Black Sharpie Marker

Directions:

First, using a small lid as a template, trace around it on white paper. Cut it out and set aside.

Cut slits about 2 inches in the cut edges of a white paper napkin.

Unfold the paper napkin. Pinch the center, letting the edges "fluff out".

Fold the brown construction crosswise making "accordion style' pleats.

While still folded, cut a rectangle shape in the middle and a square shape in each end of the brown construction paper, cutting through all layers.

Carefully unfold the accordion shape which should now resemble a fence. Place the fence at an angle at the bottom of the black construction paper. Use white glue to adhere the alternate folds of the fence to the black paper, keeping the brown paper slightly folded to make it appear 3-D.

Glue the center of the napkin to the upper left of the black construction paper. Draw a ghost face on the circle using a black Sharpie marker, and glue in place. Use the lid to cut a crescent shape from the white paper. Cut and glue to the right corner of the black paper.
