Make a Cool Whip Lid/Grocery Sack Ghost!

About this project -
Here's a fun Halloween project that's inexpensive...uses primarily recycled household items ...and the kids just love how they "fly".
This project is rated VERY EASY to do.
Supplies -

• Cool Whip Lid or other similar sheer white lid
• 3 Black Construction Paper circles for eyes and mouth
• 2 sheer white plastic grocery sacks
• 2 white pipe cleaners (chenille stem)
• Scotch tape
• Glue stick
• Black yarn
• Hole punch

Project how to -

1. Glue eyes and mouth on front of lid.
2. Cut off any writing or graphics, and handles from grocery sacks. Lay the sacks on a flat surface. With scissors, shred 2" strips up sacks leaving at least 1" area in tact next to the seam.
3. Glue the pipe cleaner/chenille stem into the seam.
4. Turn lid over on flat surface. Bend and insert the pipe cleaner/seam into the ridge around the bottom 1/2 of the lid. Tape to secure in place.
5. Repeat with the 2nd sack and stem, and insert in the ridge around the upper 1/2 of the lid.
6. Punch a hole through top of the lid. Thread a length of yarn through the hole appropriate for hanging.
7. The kids preferred to have a loop on the end of a 1 1/2' length so they could hold on and run with them. They "fly" nicely and appear as though the kids are being "chased" by a little ghost!
