Coffee Filter Ghosts


Try this: substitute a coffee filter and a small ball of spider web (you have that lying around now right?) for tissue and cotton when you make these little ghosts. The filter is starchier and will hold more of a ghostly shape, plus it's easier to draw on. 

PS
Perhaps you've notice that I've got a thing for coffee filter art? How could I not? They're cheap, you can mold them, paint them, draw on them, make coffee with them! The possibilities are endless and if you ask me, every kid should have coffee filters in their art supplies.

One of my coworkers pointed out that these looked like Teru Teru Bozu, a Japanese doll made to ward off the rain. Teru is a verb that describes sunshine and Bozu means "monk" so these are "shine shine monks." Pretty cool huh?
