 Here’s a great Halloween craft idea using upcycled towels!

:: What you’ll need ::

Upcycled towels
Scissors
Hot glue gun
Ruler
Buttons (for the eyes)
Gray & Black Felt

 

:: FOR THE GHOST::
:: Step 1 ::

Using an upcycled towel, measure and cut your lil’ monster. Ours was 5.5″. Make it double layer with the folded part on top.

:: Step 2::

Hot glue the left side and right side (leaving a small opening on each side for the arms). 

:: Step 3 ::

Using an extra piece from your upcycled towel, cut enough squares to fill your lil’ monster.

:: Step 4 ::

Now stuff your lil’ monster with the pieces. Our lil’ guy is pretty good-hearted, so we gave him a heart, and they made a special wish too:) Then, seal the wish and guts with the glue gun.

:: Step 6 ::

ADD DETAILS:: Trim corners, add scalloped edges, button eyes, and felt mouth!
