• Pom-Pom Maker (Large) Art. No 3126
• Patchwork Scissors (Art. No 493)

• 1/2 yard white nylon netting
• 1 yard each narrow ribbon (black and orange)

Assembly Directions: 

1. Make one pom-pom (3 3/8″ size). Click here for a Pom-Pom video tutorial Tie off securely with an extra long length of thread or yarn . Make a knot at the end for a hanger.
2. Glue on the wiggle eyes. Brush a small amount of powder blush on each cheek. Set aside.
3. Cut the nylon netting in half on the fold. Please note: Nylon netting often comes 72″ wide in which case this will yield 4 pieces. Set aside the remaining 3 pieces for more ghosts or another project.
4. Fold the nylon netting into fourths and cut a tiny hole in the center of the fold. Open the netting and insert the long tie through the hole enclosing the pom-pom. Gather the netting around the neck and tie with an additional length of thread.
5. Place the chenille stem around the neck and twist to secure. Fold each end about ½ inch to create hands. Bend to form an elbow on each arm.
6. Tie the ribbons into a bow around her neck and set aside.
7. Paint the doves with the permanent black ink marking pen to make crows.
8. Glue one crow on top of its head and one crow on its hand. It is helpful to hang the ghost to allow the crows to adhere and the glue to dry thoroughly.
