Halloween Crafts - Ghost and Pumpkin Crafts Jingle Ghosts An easy no mess Halloween craft idea! Hang a few ghosts where the wind will make make them jingle, or on your front door handle.  You'll need: White foam meat trays Hole punch Yarn Small bell Cut a ghost shape in the white foam tray. Punch the eyes in the ghost with a hole puncher. Make a small hole at the top of the ghost's head and one at the center of the bottom of the ghost. Cut two lengths of yarn for the top and the bottom. Attach the bell to the yarn at the bottom. Use for candle holders, teacher gifts or treat holders.   You'll Need: baby food jars (large for ghosts-small for pumpkins) white glue or Mod-Podge tissue paper - white, yellow, and orange black permanent marker Dilute the glue with water until it can be easily painted with a paint brush. Apply the glue to the jar a bit at a time, while applying torn pieces of tissue paper paper napkin. Cover the jar completely (one or two layers) and dry overnight. Use a permanent marker to make the face of a ghost or Jack -o-lantern. Kit's Tips: Using torn paper instead of cut, adds a nice texture to this tissue decoupage. Combine orange and yellow paper for a realistic texture to the pumpkin. Place a safety tea light into the container. If you are giving this as a gift--fill the jar with candy corn or chocolates and tie a piece of green raffia around the top. It couldn't hurt to write a small note about removing the raffia before lighting the candle.
