1. You need a piece of wallpaper measuring 20 x 20 cm and a marker pen.

2. Now you can start folding. First, fold the wallpaper twice along the middle: once from right to left and then from top to bottom, point to point.

3. In the next step, you will fold three of the four corners to the middle and then unfold them again.

4. Now turn over the wallpaper and fold the edge that was not folded in the last step to the folded edge of the opposite corner.

5. You now need to work on the arms of your ghost. Simply take the right corner and fold it along the right, visible line. Then fold this edge to the middle. Do the same on the other side.

6. Its arms are not quite done. Take the right side and then repeat the step on the other side. You can see that a fold runs from the corner to the middle along which you now fold down the upper right corner.

7. Your ghost now needs a little shape. You can do this by folding the lower corners on the back to the centre line.

8. You can also fold the corners back at the head and at the bottom end. By contrast, fold the points of the arms forwards.

9. You’ve finished the ghost, now it just needs a face. Use the black marker pen for this. Design your ghost however you want it to look.

10. You’re done!
