YOU WILL NEED:
Templates
Cardstock, various colours
Punch, hole
Sharp scissors or craft knife
METHOD:
1 Choose a garland template. Cut and concertina fold a length of paper accordingly: bat – 7cm wide strip folded at 6.5cm intervals; spider – 7cm wide strip folded at 5cm intervals; pumpkin – 5cm wide strip folded at 3cm intervals; ghost – 10cm wide strip folded at 5cm intervals.
2 Trace the design onto the top of the concertina stack and use sharp scissors or a craft knife to cut the shape through all the layers. Use a hole punch to add eyes and a mouth to the ghost or just eyes to the spider and pumpkin. Create a nose and mouth for the pumpkin by snipping into the fold.
