When I was in high school, certain holidays meant you could send little treats or flowers to your crush or friends on a scheduled day during 2nd period. Of course, this was before the days of everyone must be included so you learned your place in the pecking order pretty quick. Anonymous gifts would sometimes come in amongst the few from your besties and you’d spend forever trying to figure out who sent it. Well, Halloween time meant “Ghoul-o-Grams.”
Wow, those bring back memories! My friends would write various hokey messages or sweet messages of sisterhood on them and I’m sure if I check a certain bin in the closet I still have the cards. They are perfect not just for kids but big kids or co-workers. Here’s what you’ll need to make yours!
Tootsie Pops or Blow Pops
White tissues
Black fabric pen or Sharpie
Halloween colored bakers twine
Cardstock
Take a lollipop and place it almost in the center of a tissue.
Fold it over.
Now it’s time for the twine.
Cut enough to be able to tie into a bow and attach the tag if you’re going to use them.
Give it a nice bow tie.
Using your marker, draw whatever kind of face you like.
Looks like a banshee!
Oooh…scaaary! 😉
Or you can go totally cute and don’t forget to attach a fun Ghoul-o-Gram note!
This is such a cute and easy craft, you’d be hard pressed not to get a smile from any recipient! If you’d like to use the tags shown in the post, click below and download.

My high school did stuff like this but never for Halloween! That would have been the one that was the most interesting for me. What a cute idea! Makes a nice party favor too.

Aww man, they missed the boat! You’re right, they would make great party favors and if we get any trick or treaters this year, they’re getting one too! 🙂
Super cute idea. I remember trying this when my kids were little. Thanks for sharing this at the Inspiration Spotlight party 🎉 sharing
They are so cute, even my ‘big kid’ (husband) loves them! 😉
