4. Cut out the hands and attach them to the back of the ghost plate.

 

 
5. Fold the tissue paper over a few times, then cut it into strips about 1-2 inches wide.

 

 
6. Attach the strips of tissue paper to the back of the ghost plate, so that they hang down from the bottom.

 

 
7. Punch a hole in the top of the ghost and thread a piece of string or yarn through the hole to hang it.
