Ghost Paper Doll Garland Directions

You will need:
8 ½ x 11 inch white paper
scissors
hole punch

1. Fold the short side of the paper up 1 ½ inches. Flip the paper over and turn the same edge, the same amount, to the opposite side. Continue
flipping and folding the paper to fold the paper into an accordion, or fan, fold. Trim off the last ½ inch.
2. Trace half a ghost onto the folded paper, the arm and hand should reach the opposite side, just like you would for a paperdoll. Cut out the
ghost shape.
3. Use the hole punch to make the eyes of each ghost while they are still folded in half.
4. Unfold and tape together strands made from different sheets of paper to make garlands.
