Stop into the Idea Lab between 10:00am and 12:00pm every Friday in October to make a creepy Halloween decoration and turn your home into a spooky mansion.

This Friday, we'll be making gauzy Halloween ghosts out of cheesecloth and glue. First, make a simple armature by twisting and shaping pipe cleaners. Then you'll dip strips of cheesecloth into a glue mixture and drape them over your armature. Leave your ghost to dry overnight, then come back to visit the lab and pick up your new friend!

Free. One craft per person. Project available while supplies last.

Registration is recommended but not required. Drop-ins are welcome, but if you register ahead of time you will receive a reminder email the day before the event.

Ages 10 and up. All children must be supervised by a guardian. If you think that you will need extra assistance to complete this project, please bring a support person to assist you.
