Original ghosts for doors

Another great idea for those who love ghosts is to draw a big one that takes up the entire door using pieces of paper or even toilet paper. You will have to go gluing little by little until you cover the entire door, but remember to leave a space a little above the middle to put the eyes. You can make them with black and white cardboard and give them a kinder or terrifying expression by placing the eyebrows in one way or another. This type of decoration for Halloween, so simple and fun.
