Light-up Ghosts Supplies List

Supplies to make light-up ghost

  • Googly eyes (or black marker to draw on eyes)

  • Paper clip to make the loop to hang the ghost from (not pictured)

How to Make Light-Up Ghosts

After you find a good light source, the ghosts are super easy to make. Just follow the steps below.

Step 1: Prepare the materials and add the arms

The rubber egg light is soft with small holes, so it’s easy to push the pipe cleaner through to make the arms.

Prepare the supplies and put in the arms

Step 2: Add the loop to hang the light-up ghosts

Next, you can use a paperclip, thin wire, or fishing line to make a loop on the top of the light. This is where the ghosts hang from. (Be sure to push any sharp edges of wire back inside the egg to keep it safe for young kids.)

Step 3: Prepare the ghost body

We cut the bottom off our bags when we make these, but feel free to experiment and get creative. We also cut off the top corners and make a V-shape in the middle so that the arms and paperclip loop can easily slip out of the bag.

Step 4: Add the eyes (and face)

Time for the googly eyes. Or you can try drawing a more elaborate face with markers.

Step 5: Get the ghost ready to hang

Now you can add another piece of pipe cleaner to the top to hang the ghost. (Fishing line is a great alternative if you don’t want the string to be visible.)
