Straw Blow Ghost Painting

How to do it

  1. 1

    Thin white paint with a little water so it flows easily.

  2. 2

    Drop a small blob of paint near the bottom of the paper.

  3. 3

    Aim the straw at the blob and blow gently upward to push the paint into a ghost body shape.

  4. 4

    Add dot eyes with a marker once dry.

Tips & extensions

Thinner paint blows further. If the ghost looks messy, that is the point — no two ghosts look the same.
