-
Add Facial Features

Common Pitfall: Ensure your cuts are smooth and even to make sewing easier later.

Sew the Ghost Together

Step 4: Stuff the Ghost

Fill the Ghost
- Carefully stuff the ghost with toy stuffing through the opening. Make sure it’s evenly filled for a nice shape.
-
Close the Opening
- Once stuffed, sew the opening closed with a small, neat stitch.
Step 5: Add Final Touches
-
Secure the Eyes
- If needed, reinforce the black plastic safety eyes with a bit of hot glue to ensure they stay in place.
-
Attach Cotton Rope
- Cut a length of cotton rope to use as a hanging loop.
