Can I use other materials besides coffee filters?

Yes! While coffee filters are best, you can try using paper towels in a pinch, although the texture will differ.

Do the ghosts need any finishing spray?

No finishing spray is necessary, but if you want to preserve them for next year, consider using a light spray of fixative.

If stored properly, the ghosts can last for many Halloweens, although they may get a little wrinkly over time.

Absolutely! Painting the coffee filters in advance can create a unique background for your ghosts.

Keep Screen Awake Prevent your screen from going dark

Prepare your workspace by laying down some newspaper or a craft mat.
Shape the ghost by folding a coffee filter in half and cutting a rounded bottom.
Add stuffing using cotton balls or tissue paper into the center of the folded filter.
Seal and shape the ghost by twisting the top around the stuffing and securing it with string.
Create the face by drawing eyes and a mouth with a black marker.

Use light pressure when drawing to avoid tearing the coffee filter and experiment with different sizes for variety.
