Whether you're watching a scary movie marathon with the kids or having a Halloween party with all of your favorite ghosts and ghouls, Designer Donna has a few spooky decorations to make your Halloween a scream! Here's how to make ghost straws to make sure your drinks don't disappear.

**Designed by:** Donna Budzynski![glue-dots-ghost-straws-inuse](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/glue-dots-ghost-straws-inuse.jpg?width=200&height=113&name=glue-dots-ghost-straws-inuse.jpg)  
**Time:** 20 minutes (4 straws)  
**Level:** Beginner

Great way to know whose drink is who’s!

**Here's what you need:![glue-dots-ghost-straws-blog](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/glue-dots-ghost-straws-blog.jpg?width=200&height=317&name=glue-dots-ghost-straws-blog.jpg)**

- [Craft Glue Dots® ](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1014?plpver=1002)
- White cardstock
- Black cardstock
- Straws
- Die cutting machine
- Die cuts (ghost)
- Black ink

**Here's what you do:**

1. Cut or punch out ghost shapes using die cuts, cutting machine and white cardstock.
2. Cut or punch out tags using white cardstock, a die cut and cutting machine. You can also cut these out with a pair of scissors.
3. Cut or punch out tags slightly in black card stock that are slightly larger than the white tags.
4. Adhere white name tag to black background piece using Glue Lines.
5. Cut two small slits in the ghost to create an opening for the straw.
6. Slip the straw through the opening and use Craft Glue Dots along the body to secure the ghost to the straw.
7. Adhere your name tags onto the straw using Craft Glue Dots.
