If hanging the plate, use a hole punch or a pencil to poke a small hole in the top of the plate rim before painting. Thread the string through and tie it off so it is ready to hang when the paint is dry.
Use the size-8 brush and black paint to paint two large oval eyes in the upper centre of the plate, and a round open mouth below. Keep the features bold enough to read from a distance. Thin, neat lines get lost on a textured plate surface.
Leave to dry for 20 minutes. If adding pink cheeks, dip a fingertip in very diluted pink paint and dab it gently on each side of the mouth. If adding glitter glue, run a line of it along the pleated outer rim once the black paint is fully dry.
Hang or prop the finished ghost wherever it is needed. Groups of three at different heights look much more composed than a single plate alone.
