Instructions: (see picture for placement of elements)
1. Print out patterns so that they fit completely on the standard printer paper size. 2. Transfer the markings to the appropriate thicknesses of wood and saw out. Sand smooth if necessary. 3. Paint the ghost and base white and the letters black and orange and let dry. Drybrush the edges and details of the ghost and base with black, the black letters with white and the orange letter with black paint. 4. Paint the facial features onto the ghost. 5. Drill a hole through each of the ghost hands and insert the wire through each letter and across to the hands. Tie raffia onto each letter. Now glue the arms onto the ghost. If you cannot purchase letters, you can saw your own or use the sign template on the ghost pattern. 6. Drill 2 holes in the bottom of the ghost. Mark the hole positions onto the base piece and drill also 2 holes. Screw the base onto the ghost.
