Handprint Ghost Trick or Treat Bag Craft

What you'll need:

• Black canvas bag
• White paint
• Black paint (we used paint pens for ease)
• Glow-in-the-dark paint (usually with the fabric paints at the craft store)
• Paint brush

• Lay the canvas bag down flat. Use the paint brush to brush the white paint onto your child's hand. Don't paint their thumb - you only want the 4 fingers for this craft. (We found that handprint crafts turn out a little better/"cleaner" when we painted our daughter's hand than when she dipped her hand directly into the paint).
• Help them carefully lay and press their hand onto the bag and then pull straight back up so the handprint doesn't smear.
• To get a smoother ghost, go back over the handprint with the paint brush (and more white paint if necessary)
• When the ghost has dried, use black paint to add a face to your ghost.
• Use the glow-in-the-dark paint to outline the ghost and to write "BOO!" onto the bag. **Note: although you are painting on fabric, regular white craft paint is ok for this craft assuming it will most likely only be used on trick-or-treat night and won't be washed. If you think your craft will get more use, please use fabric paint instead so that the bag holds up better.
