How to Create a Boo Ghost Handprint
1. Begin by covering the hand with white paint.
Firmly press it onto the paper along the far-left side. Then repeat beside the first print to create 2 handprints.
Painting Suggestions
Don’t be concerned if the handprint does not transfer every bit of paint when you press it down. You can fill in a few areas with a paintbrush.
Before pressing, apply plenty of paint to the hand and fingers. Keep the hand level, and press it onto the paper so every finger touches the surface.
Wash the hands right away for effortless cleanup.
2. Trim a letter B from white paper or cardstock.
Sketch your own letter B, or print a template and trace it. To create one yourself, simply print a letter B, cut it out, and use it as a guide to trace onto the white paper.
Our letter B template is another option. Find the template at the end of the post.
3. Place googly eyes on the white handprints.
Alternatively, sketch the eyes using a marker.
4. Use a black marker to sketch the ghost mouths.
We adore how simple this Halloween handprint artwork is to create!
It would be an especially adorable gift to display in an office or place on the refrigerator this Halloween season!
