1. Find a satisfactory ghost template picture online and cut it out. Then use a white pencil to trace it on the black cardboard. Turn your black cardstock over.
2. Cut a small rectangular shape from a regular sized kitchen sponge for painting. Pour the white paint onto the paper plate.
3. Dab the sponge a few times to coat it all, then dab it onto the black cardboard. Allows the blacks to show through, giving it a more translucent ghost appearance.
Continue dabbing with white paint until the black cardboard is covered. set asideLet it dry completely.
