Halloween: Handprint Ghost Banner

Halloween is just around the corner and this is my favorite time of year to get crafty with my kids! My kids found my stash of Scotch® Expressions Glitter Tape and couldn’t wait to make a Halloween banner with it. I let them cover a piece of card stock paper with the tape, which is a great workout for those fine motor skills. This tape is very kid friendly and easy to use, plus the glitter is just plain fun! We traced their handprints onto the paper and turned their handprints into Halloween ghosts. You can use different tape colors to make monsters or get creative and see what your kids come up with. I love my new Halloween banner and couldn’t wait to hang it up!

MATERIALS

White Card Stock Paper
Scotch® Expressions White Glitter Tape
Pencil
Scissors
Googly Eyes
Scotch® Create Adhesive Dots
Burlap Banner
Scotch® Create Double-sided Tape
Scotch® Expressions Purple or Green Glitter Tape (see step 8)

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Head to the craft aisle at Walmart to pick up Scotch® Expressions Glitter Tape, Scotch® Create Double-sided Tape and other supplies!

Step 2: Cover an entire piece of card stock paper with Scotch® Expressions White Glitter Tape.

Step 3: Flip the paper over and trace your child’s handprint onto the paper. 

Step 4: Cut out the handprint. Repeat steps 2-4 for as many ghosts as you’d like to make.

Step 5: Attach 2 googly eyes to each ghost using Scotch® Create Adhesive Dots.

Step 6: Use Scotch® Create Double-sided Tape to attach the ghosts to the burlap banner.

Step 7: Hang your handprint ghost banner! 

Step 8: You can also attach the ghosts to a faux pumpkin for an easy no-carve decoration. Use Scotch® Expressions Purple or Green Glitter Tape to make monster handprints. Attach 1 or 3 googly eyes to each monster handprint.
