Creative kids will love crafting a unique Halloween decoration that is certain to set a spooky scene! This mache ghost project is a great way to get the Halloween fun started and it’ll teach them all about making with mache.

The tutorial is designed for kids aged three years and over. They’ll have an expert Hobbycraft colleague showing them every step of the way, with a fantastic variety of craft materials provided in store to help them transform one spooky ghost – from googly eyes to tissue paper! There are so many ways to make something unique.

Whether kids have never made with mache before or they just love getting stuck in with this versatile craft, the workshop will be a fun way to embrace Halloween excitement.

All participants will walk away with a ghost to put on display. Please note, you may need to allow for drying time.

  • 3/5 from Anna Chojnowska, attended Oct 2026: I think it was the last session so there were not enough materials left, that were quite popular because of the theme. The session, overall was good but because of the lack of resources I'm rating it 3 stars.
  • 3/5 from Sasha Lototska, attended Oct 2026: The lady support the activity was lovely. Supplies wise it was a bit meh. I expected pretty pater paper like on the advert but it was basic tissue paper. The rest was okay, pom poms, pipe cleaners, gems and feathers. They could've provided a lot more options tho.
