Halloween Ghost Craft: Toilet Paper Roll Ghost

Make this simple Halloween ghost craft with your kiddos using paint, paper, and a toilet paper roll. SO easy!

Halloween Ghost Craft Materials

Here is a list of the materials you’ll need to make this Halloween ghost craft:

• 1-2 sheets of white paper
• 1 paint brush
• 1 pen/pencil
• 1 toilet paper roll
• 1 pair of scissors
• 2 googly eyes
• white paint
• glue

And while it isn’t necessary, I would recommend having some sort of craft mat underneath you (especially if you are letting your kids do the painting!). This will just help protect your surfaces and make clean up easier! Because we all know how good kids are at keeping their paint on the canvas haha.

Steps for Making this Halloween Ghost Craft

Step 1: To make this craft, start by gathering up all the items mentioned in the previous section and setting them on a craft mat.

Step 2: Then, use the white paint and paintbrush to coat the toilet paper rolls. Just know that you may need to do 2-3 coats to get a solid white finish. Alternatively, you could use white paper and glue it to the outside of the toilet paper roll if you don’t have paint or want to avoid it altogether.

Step 3: While the paint dries, trace your child’s hand and cut it out. I recommend using a pencil for this step and then using an eraser to get rid of the pencil marks once the hand shape has been cut out.

Step 4: Before using any glue, measure where to place the the handprints. For ours, we chose to make the top came over the edge of the toilet paper roll. This way, those cute little traced fingers don’t get all bent out of shape when the toilet paper roll is stood up.

Step 5: Use the glue to attach the traced hand prints to the toilet paper rolls. Next add the eyes and facial features such as eyebrows and a mouth.

And just like that, you have a toilet paper ghost that is perfect for celebrating Halloween! Not only it is a simple craft that is quick and inexpensive, but it is also great for kids of all ages. This Halloween ghost craft is one you won’t want to miss!!
