Start by using a spray paint primer to prime the plastic jars. You will want an adult to apply the primer. You can choose to do a white coat of paint over the primer, however it isn't necessary if you use white. Set aside to dry. Cut out two eyes and a mouth for your ghost from the black self-adhesive foam sheets. Adhere the eyes and mouth to the plastic jar.

Using a sharp piercing tool, carefully pierce a hole in both sides of the plastic jar. Use a chenille stem to create the handle. Push one end of the chenille stem into the hole and fold it up to keep it from falling out. Repeat with the other end.
