3-D Halloween Ghost Lawn Decoration |
|
Steps: |
 |
Using white pencil, draw outline of ghost on black paper plate. |
|
Trace over design with Xacto knife, use enough pressure to go through plate. (Be sure to put something under the plate so as not to scratch your work surface. A phonebook works well for this.) |
|
You should now be able to "punch out" your design, leaving a ghost-shaped hole in the plate. |
|
Grab a handful of fake cobwebs. Place this behind the ghost cut-out, filling the opening. |
|
Line the perimeter of your smaller orange plate with glue. Plate should be facing up. |
|
Put this plate behind the black plate, with the fake cobwebs in between. The smaller plate will push the cobwebs through the ghost cut-out creating a 3-D image. |
|
Place clothespins around perimeter of the two plates, to hold them together as the glue is bonding. Leave on for at least 15 minutes to allow the glue to dry. |
|
Turn over decoration so ghost is facing down. |
|
Glue one Popsicle stick horizontally across the bottom curve of the black plate. |
|
Glue another Popsicle stick perpendicular to this one. The two sticks should make a "T" shape. |
|
Place clothespin at intersecting point, allow to dry for 15 minutes. |
|
While the glue is drying, glue googly eyes on your ghost. |
|
Bend orange pipe cleaner into a bow shape, glue this on ghost. |
|
Continue to decorate your ghost however you wish! |
|
Remove clothespins. |
|
Place decoration in the ground outside or in a planter. |
