Super Easy TP Ghost Craft

We're just rollin' out the Halloween crafts like crazy over here! Cocoa Puff and I made a really sweet ghost craft using only a few supplies I already had around the house. It didn't take very long and it pretty much cost nothing to make. Here is the tutorial straight from Cocoa Puff himself with a little help from Mama.
This is a ghost. I made it myself with my mama. It was fun.
This is what you need to make it... just a toilet paper roll tube (ours are white right now, which was perfect for this craft), toilet paper (we ended up using 8 squares), tape (you can use glue or a gluestick or any other kind of adhesive, but Cocoa Puff really wanted to use tape since he's fascinated by it right now), a marker, and some "denture" floss (string, yarn, whatever... just something to hang it with).
First, you've gotta make sure your TP roll is satisfactory. You can do this by looking through it like a telescope.
Then, make your toilet paper (into strips that are) 2 squares long. You need 4 (per ghost).
Then, tape the toilet paper to the roll. (We taped it on both edges.) You don't want it to fall off.
Tape the next one onto the back of the ghost.
(You'll have two overlapping strips at this point.) Now you have to tape another one (so it overlaps both of the other strips.)
Tape the last toilet paper. (you'll have four strips of toilet paper, all overlapping each other)
Ghosts need eyes and a mouth. I made eyes and a mouth with a marker. Mama had to help me. I wanted a smiley face but you can do a scary face too.
Have Mama draw eyes and a mouth on your ghost, then help tape the "denture" floss on the inside of the ghost.
Then, run around the house with it and yell BOO at everyone, including the dogs. Some ghosts are scary and some are good guys. Ghosts that have scary mouths are scary and ghosts that have happy mouths are good ghosts.
Do you believe in ghosts?
