Create Ghost’s Face
For the eyes, fold black craft foam in half (Image 1), sketch a large oval shape for the eyes onto the foam’s paper backing (Image 2). Tip: Folding the foam in half before cutting, creates 2 eyes whose shape mirrors each other. Sketch an open mouth shape onto the back of the remaining black foam; cut out (Image 3).

Attach Face
Remove the paper backing from the eye cut-outs and attach near the top of the planter, then add the mouth below (Image 1). Display your completed mum-ster in either a sheltered outdoor location or indoors (Image 2).
