Step 1 Making the ghosts

Using my ghost template cut out ghosts in your desired colour of card. Cut as many as feel you would like in your banner. I cut out 6 ghosts in silver glitter card.

Step 2 Cutting the letters

On my banner I am placing the words Hey Boo. You can of course put any wording you like on the front of your banner. You can also just have hanging ghosts with no words on.

If you want your banner to say Hey Boo use my template. Cut out the letters and ghost eyes in black card.

Step 3 Making the ghosts

Next, stick the eyes and the letters onto the front of the ghosts. You can use any glue that you have. I used hot glue as I find that is the best glue to use on glitter card. I placed the eyes on first and then I added the letter under the eyes.

These are how the ghosts looked once I had added all the eyes and letters.

Step 4 Punching the holes

Now your ghosts are made, let's make the holes for hanging them. Using a single hole punch I made 2 holes above the ghost eyes. Repeat this on all your ghosts.

Take the first ghost you made holes in and use this as a guide for punching the holes in the other ghosts. This is a great way of making sure all the holes are located in a similar place.

Step 5 Assembling the banner

Taking the ribbon, thread it through the holes you have made on the ghosts. Start with the last ghost you want to be on your banner.

Be sure to leave some extra ribbon at either end of your ghosts so you can hang up your ghost banner.
