On the occasion of Halloween, Doupando suggests you to make serpentine ghosts to hang at home.

It's very easy and quick to make. For this activity you need:

  • A sheet of paper, white for the ghost but have fun putting color if you want.
  • A black felt pen to make the outlines.
  • A pair of scissors.
  • Thread to hang your ghost.

To create a ghost you just have to draw your character taking as much space as possible on a sheet of paper (A4/letter), starting with a spiral as if you were drawing a snail. Then finish your drawing by making the head and arms of the ghost, as you like.

For those who don't want to draw, here are some templates to print: Doupando_fantomeserpentin Click on the image to see a larger version Doupando_fantomeserpentin By drawing your own ghosts, you can have fun making the faces you want, from the scariest to the cutest Doupando_fantomeserpentin Once you have drawn or printed your ghost, you need to cut it out, using a pair of scissors. Cut the outside and then the spiral. Put a wire through the head of the ghost and all you have to do is hang it in your home.

Funny thing, if you hang your ghost near a heat source (for your safety, at least one meter away), it will start to turn on itself.

Have a great Halloween, even if this year the party will be at home.
