Materials:
Plastic spoon
"Sharpie" pen (permanent marker)
scissors
Pipe cleaner
2 pieces facial tissue
1' ribbon
- Use the pictures here to get ideas for your spook. Using the permanent marker, draw a face on the rounded side of the spoon.
- Wrap the pipe cleaner around the spoon handle, just below the bowl of the spoon. Twist the pipe cleaner once to hold it tightly around the spoon handle
- Open the 2 pieces of tissue out flat. Fold them accordion (fan) style across the width of the tissue.
- Fold one piece of tissue across the pipe cleaner on the left side of the spoon. Wrap the left piece in front of the spoon handle. Push the tissue towards the spoon so that it is gathered as much as possible, and then wrap the pipe cleaner around the handle again. Repeat with the other piece of tissue on the other side of the spoon and taking the tissue around the back of the spoon.
- Wrap the ribbon around the spook's "neck" and tie in a bow.
- Bend the pipe cleaner arms to any position you wish.
- If desired, you can tie a piece of string through the ribbon on the back of the spook's neck and hang your spook to fly in the breeze...
