- White yarn (I used #4 weight acrylic yarn, the inexpensive kind that comes in a big ball at the craft store)
- Yarn/tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Hot glue (or craft glue) for gluing on stem
- 2 Eyes
Sizing:
- 2-3 inches tall (depending on how much you trim the bottom of the tassel)

Instructions for the tassel:
- Cut two pieces of yarn about 12 inches long and set aside.
- Wrap yarn around all 4 fingers of your hand to make a thick bundle (I did about 25 wraps around my hand)
- Carefully slip your hand out of the bundle and set down.
- Tie first piece yarn through the entire bundle very tightly. The ties will be the top of the ghost.
- Tie second piece of yarn around the whole bundle towards the top as shown (about 1/4 from the top).
- Holding the two strands you just tied, cut all of the loops in a straight line along the bottom.
- Snip yarn ends neatly across.
- If you want to tie the ghost onto something, leave the two yarn ties. If not, you can snip them off.
Assembly:
- Glue eyes to the top part as shown.
- Let the glue cool/dry completely before using.
- You can tie this onto something or trim the tails, totally up to you!
