Cotton Ball Ghost Craft
It doesn’t get any more simple and fun than our Cotton Ball Ghost Craft for Halloween! It’s a classic Halloween craft idea made even easier with our Free Printable Ghost Template. All you need to do is apply glue in the ghost shape for the cotton balls to stick to, and you have a perfectly shaped ghost every time.
A really fun aspect of this Halloween ghost craft is the raised, puffiness of the cotton balls. It gives it a neat textural and sensory effect. So soft and wispy, like any good kind of ghost should be.
Easy Halloween Cotton Ball Ghost Craft
For this cotton ball ghost craft, you will need our ghost template.
You’ll also need cardstock in black along with your color of choice for the background, white cotton balls, scissors, and liquid glue. We also used a 1” circle paper punch to make our eyes.

Halloween Ghost Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by printing the ghost outline template on the color cardstock of your choice.
You will also need to gather a good amount of cotton balls.
Now, pour a generous amount of glue within the outline of the ghost.
Stick the cotton balls in the glue.
Continue adding cotton balls to the glue until the ghost shape is fully formed.
Then, use a 1” circle paper punch to punch two circles for eyes from black cardstock. You will also need to cut an oval from the black cardstock.

Finish the ghost by gluing the black oval shape for a mouth. All that’s left to do now is wait for the glue to dry. There you have a super fun, puffy ghost craft for Halloween!
