Instructions:
1. Print and trace the patterns out and transfer them to the appropriate colored paper or cardboard.
2. Cut the pieces out with scissors. The details such as the mouth, nose or eyes of the jack-o-lantern or ghost can be cut out with the knife. Adults should do this if small children are helping with this project
3. Punch the cat’s eyes with the hole puncher. Punch holes in the tops of the figures as well.
4. Use the black magic marker and trace around the ghost’s body and facial features if desired. This helps make him more visable.
5. Tie raffia through the top holes and tie a loop for hanging. Let the ends hang freely.
6. Tie extra raffia bows on separate parts of the branch for extra decoration.
Tip: You can also use stiff felt or fun foam instead of cardstock.
