It can be a lantern too! Fluffy ghost

Here’s a cute ghost craft idea that can also be used as a lantern.
Pour liquid laundry starch (or school glue thinned with a little water) into a deep container and cut gauze to the amount you’ll use.
Soak the gauze, squeeze out the excess so it’s damp rather than dripping, then spread it out and decorate it with eyes and other parts to make the ghost.
To make the base, place a transparent capsule on top of an upside-down paper cup and attach chenille stems (pipe cleaners) to the sides.
Set the ghost over the capsule to finish.
If you place it over a lantern, the inside of the ghost will glow, creating a magical, atmospheric effect.
[Origami] Ghost Ornament

Adorable 3D ghost ornaments that are super easy to make with things you already have at home.
All you need is white paper and a pen, scissors, glue, and some twine.
You’ve got those at home, right? Fold the white paper, draw half of a ghost’s body with the folded edge as the center, and cut it out—this gives you four identical ghosts.
Just crease them firmly down the middle and glue them together; it’s simple enough to make with small children.
Try giving the ghosts different facial expressions and hanging up lots of them—the cuteness will multiply!
Halloween bag
When it comes to Halloween, getting treats is one of the biggest thrills, isn’t it? So, to make the holiday even more fun, I recommend making a Halloween bag.
This activity involves creating an original bag by sticking ghosts and monsters—cut out of construction paper—onto a paper bag.
With a cute bag, the fun of collecting treats is sure to double! Get started while feeling excited, thinking, “What design should I choose?”
A ghost popping out with nylon gloves

A pop-up ghost that’s easy to make but sure to delight the kids.
First, make a hole near the bottom of a paper cup for a straw, and thread the straw through.
Next, cover the rim (drinking side) of the cup with a thin nylon glove, tie the edge with a rubber band, and secure it with tape.
Stick a piece of paper with a cute ghost drawing onto the glove’s fingertips, and you’re done.
When you blow through the straw, the glove inflates and the ghosts pop out from inside the paper cup.
A parent can inflate it, or the kids can blow it up themselves and have lots of fun!
Halloween ornament

These are small ornaments characterized by their softness, made using yarn and a dish sponge.
Roll the sponge into a ball with a rubber band, then wrap yarn around it to form a sphere.
Wrap the yarn so the sponge is as hidden as possible; if any sponge does show, using a similar color helps it blend in.
Once you’ve finished wrapping the whole surface, attach parts like the face to complete it.
Try different motif choices and part shapes to add originality.
