10 Craft Ideas to do With Halloween Ghost Coloring Pages
Once you've finished coloring all those spooky specters, don't let your artistic masterpieces gather dust! These easy and affordable crafts put your personalized ghost pages to imaginative use.
1. Ghostly Chain Garland
Cut out several colored ghosts, making sure they are roughly the same size. Cut small slits at the top and bottom of each ghost, then interlock them through the slits to create a long, hanging chain of spirits. Drape your spooky garland across doorways or mantelpieces for instant Halloween cheer.
2. Floating Ghost Stick Puppets
Carefully cut out your finished ghost drawings. Glue each ghost onto a clear plastic straw or a thin dowel rod, allowing it to “float” above the stick. Use your ghostly crew to put on a Halloween puppet show or have them appear from behind furniture.
3. “Boo!” Window Suncatchers
Cut out your colored ghost, then carefully cut out its eyes and mouth. Glue colorful tissue paper behind these cutouts from the back of the ghost. Frame the ghost with a border of black construction paper and hang it in a sunny window to let the light shine through your ghostly creation.
4. Ghostly Glow Jars
Carefully cut out your colored ghost shapes. Glue them onto the outside of a clean glass jar, making sure to spread the glue smoothly so the ghost adheres well. Place an LED tealight candle inside for a safe, spooky glow that highlights your unique ghost designs.
5. Haunted Door Hangers
Glue a colored ghost cutout onto a sturdy piece of poster board or thick cardstock. Cut the board into a traditional door hanger shape, remembering to cut out the circular hole and slit at the top. Personalize with “Boo!” or “Enter if you dare!” and hang it on any doorknob.
6. Peek-a-Boo Pop-Up Cards
Fold a piece of construction paper in half to make your card base. Cut out a vibrant ghost from your coloring page and create simple paper spring mechanisms or accordion folds. Glue these to the inside fold of the card, making your ghost magically pop up when the card is opened.
7. Ghost Finger Puppet Crew
Cut out several small-to-medium sized ghost figures from your colored pages. Cut a strip of construction paper long enough to wrap around a finger and glue the ends to form a ring. Attach this ring to the back of each ghost, creating an entire ghostly finger puppet crew for storytelling fun.
8. Spooky Ghost Photo Booth Props
Cut out a variety of large, expressive ghosts from your colored pages. Securely glue each ghost to a wooden dowel, craft stick, or sturdy paper straw. Hand them out at your Halloween party for silly, ghostly photo opportunities that everyone will love.
9. Trick-or-Treat Ghost Bags
Glue a large, distinct ghost cutout onto the front of a plain paper lunch bag or small gift bag. You can add googly eyes or extra embellishments to give your ghost character. Fill them with candy or small toys for a personalized trick-or-treat experience or party favor.
10. Floating Ghost Mobile
Punch a small hole at the top of several cut-out ghosts from your colored pages. Tie varying lengths of fishing line or string to each ghost, then tie the other ends to a hanger or two crossed sticks. Hang your ghostly mobile from the ceiling, letting them gently spin and “float” in the air.
