Instructions

Step 1: Getting Ready

Make sure you have everything you need and find a clean surface to work on.

Step 2: Eyes And Mouth

Draw ghost eyes and mouth. These should measure a total of no more than 4cm x 4cm in order to fit the paper cup.

Step 3: Cup Prep

Paint around the 2 paper cups the colour of your choice. Leave to dry before proceeding to next step.

Step 4: The Legs

Cut U shaped legs all around 1 cup. These don’t have to be even in width but somewhat the same in height so they stand straight.

Step 5: Cutting The A4 Card

Cut the A4 card into 2cm thin strips.

Step 6: Readying The Box Folder Strip

Line up the edges of 2 strips and glue together.

Step 7: Creating The Box Fold Strip

Fold the bottom strip up and over the top one and crease. Continue to fold the 2 strips back and forth over one another till the end. Trim and use your favourite Bostik Stik to glue the ends.
