Craft Procedure:
Halloween is an event which everyone look forward to. Kids just love Halloween. They are thrilled to dress up in creative and scary costumes, make things which are very scary and display it in their favourite places. Kids love to decorate their place using the things they make creatively. One such craft is the silhouette ghost which is bright, simple but equally scary. It includes simple steps and with little help from elders, kids can make it easily. It is just fun and a pleasure to watch kids create this and display to scare others.
Step 1: Take the terracotta or clay pot and turn it upside down. Position this in a place where it can be painted and dried thoroughly.
Step 2: Mix the white cement powder with water and paint around the terracotta or clay pot fully using the large brush.
Step 3: Also paint the clay pot used for cooking thoroughly using the white cement powder with the same brush. Allow it to dry completely.
Step 4: Place the clay pot used for cooking above the terracotta pot. The clay pot also should be placed upside down.
Step 5: Use a bungy cord or a tape to hold both the pots and using contractor strength glue, stick them together.
Step 6: Take the card board sheet and draw the wings, both left and right wings using a marker. Both the wings should be of similar size and the drawing marks should not be visible after cutting the wings from the cardboard paper.
Step 7: Using the scissor, cut them and paste them to the side of the terracotta pot, just like how the wings come from the shoulders. Make it stiff by smoothing the folds.
Step 8: Using the black paint and small brush, paint 3 circles for eyes and nose.
Step 9: Allow it to dry thoroughly. Place it wherever you want for Halloween and sit back and relish the creative craft
