Ghosts, Goblins & Gunk!

Blood

Parts of the Body

Eyeballs--Peel the skin off grapes

Fingers--Slice some carrots into finger length sizes and place in a bowl of gelatin (figure B).

Brains--Place cooked spaghetti in a bowl with some olive oil (figure C).

Teeth--Cut your teeth shapes in an orange peel. Place the teeth on a cardboard tube and place a rubber band around the tube to hold the orange peel (figure D). Doing this will round the orange peel and it will be easier to place on your teeth.

Bottle Ghosts

Materials:

foil
pop bottle
water
sugar
cheesecloth
tape

Steps:

1. Roll up a piece of foil into a ball and place on top of a pop bottle. Make foil "arms" and tape to the sides of the bottle (figure E). This is only a frame for the ghost, it's not supposed to look good. Boil 1/2 cup of water and one cup of sugar.

1. Take a wreath frame and twist it in all sorts of directions. Spray entire piece black. Spray several pieces of raffia orange. Set aside.

1. Position a clear bubble bowl on top of colorful cellophane (figure M).

2. Bring the sides of the cellophane up and over the bowl and shove inside the bowl (figure N).

3. Place a glass votive inside the bowl and place a candle inside the votive glass (figure O).

4. Attach three long pieces of ribbon around the bowl and bring up to form a triangle to hang. Light the candle and hang.
