Step 1

Measure Hood Size
Fold the fabric in half and drape it around your child’s head creating a hood, mark the spot where the two pieces meet under the chin. Wrap the fabric until it overlaps on either side near the armpits and mark the connections.
Step 2

Add Fasteners
Sew snaps to both sides of the three spots that you marked.
Step 3

Make Elbow Holes
Try the cloak on your child and mark where their elbows fall. Cut slits at each elbow mark for arm holes.
Step 4

Rough It Up
Cut slits in the bottom to create a more ragged appearance. You can also make the bottom shorter if need be.
Step 5

White Face
Paint the ghost’s face with white paint, leaving large holes around the eyes.
Step 6

Blacken Eyes
Fill in around the eyes with the black eye shadow.
Step 7

Put It All Together
Dress all in black, don your ghostly cloak and haunt the night!
