Q-Tip Skeleton Cards
By Nancy Cavanaugh

What you need:
    Black and white construction paper
   11 Q-Tips
   Elmer's Glue
   Glitter
   Black marker or crayon
   White crayon
   Scissors

How to make it:

1) Fold a piece of construction paper in half with the short ends touching. Place the card down with the fold to the left.

2) Using the scissors, cut about an inch off of each end of two Q-Tips.

3) Draw and cut out a skeleton head. Draw the eyes, nose holes and mouth with the black marker or crayon. Glue the head onto the front of the black construction paper card.

4) Glue the remaining full-size Q-Tips to form the body, arms and legs of the skeleton, as seen in the picture. Glue the shorter Q-Tip ends on the ends of the arms and feet. Allow to dry completely.

5) You can use the white crayon or glue and glitter to write a Halloween greeting on the front and inside. You can also use the crayon to create a spooky picture around the skeleton.
