how to: make easy ghost suckers

I know there’s nothing fancy or amazing about these ghost suckers.  They’re as run-of-the mill as Halloween crafts come, but sometimes, oldies are goodies.

Here’s how to make easy ghost suckers for Halloween.  Make ‘em for your kids, make ‘em for your neighbors, make ‘em for your friends.

The supply list for this craft is almost ridiculous.

Easy Ghost Suckers:

• yarn
• tissues
• suckers
• black marker

STEP 1:

Take two tissues {more makes it too bunchy, less and you can see through to the sucker wrapping}, lay them flat and place a sucker in the middle.

I choose to use Tootsie Pops.  How many licks does it take?  I’ve never made it all the way through without chewing.

STEP 2:

Wrap the tissues around the sucker and grab on around the “neck” area of the ghost.  Twist it a little to give it a little flair.

Because there’s not enough flair in the world.

STEP 3:

Now cut a piece of yarn, string, ribbon, whatever you have on hand, to about 3 inches long and tie a knot around the neck.

I’m sorry, it’s still a neck even if it is a ghost.

STEP 4:

Using the black marker, {I like Sharpie‘s} color in two black circles for eyes.

I made one for me tolook  like Edvard Munch’s The Scream, just to keep things interesting.

Kids need a little culture in their Halloween crafts.

That’s it.  Wasn’t that easy?

Cute little ghost suckers.

A little treat for the Halloween lovers in your life.
