These characters are made from cardboard and are very easy to make and only require basic painting and drawing skills. You can use them to pose for pictures but also as a ball or bean bag toss game for prizes.
Materials:
- cardboard
- paint
- rope to tie them all together
Step 1.
Tape pieces of cardboard together and then draw a design. I use pencil so I can erase until I get it right. Even if you have limited skills you can draw a ghost but it’s easy to copy a picture or character once you get started.
Step 2.
Start painting in your design one color at a time. Craft paints dry very quickly so you can finish your characters quickly.
Step 3.
Repeat this process for the witch. I also punched two holes at the top of her cape and put a ribbon through it and tied a bow.
Step 4.
I added arms to the ghost by taping them on.
Step 5.
Cut a hole through each figure as shown.
Step 6.
Tie the sections together using twine as shown. Punch additional holes in the outside edges and use them to tie the figures up to a fence or tree to stabilize.
