To make the ghost costumed kids, coat both sides of a circular piece of white fabric. Drape it over a small bottle, such as an aspirin bottle, and allow it dry. When the fabric is dry, use black paint to add the eyes, or in the case of poor Charlie Brown, multiple holes.
To make the other figures, begin coating both sides of a piece of tissue paper. Tear the coated paper off in pieces, and crush them together into a ball. Then begin to form the figures. The paper mache coated tissue paper works much the same way as clay. Form the figures in separate pieces. Form heads, form arms, form legs, form bodies, and each character’s special pieces (i.e. witch hats, tail, welcome great pumpkin sign, etc.) Also form the pumpkin of paper mache. Leave the pieces to dry over night.
When the mache pieces are completely dry, glue the heads, arms, and legs to the bodies with a hot glue gun. When the glue has dried, use the acrylic paint to give life to the figures. After the paint has dried, brush the figures with a coat of clear varnish or sealer. This is usually sold on the same rack as acrylic paint.

Hot glue fake leaves to the bottom of the wreath, slightly rising on one side. When the glue on the leaves has dried, carefully attach the figures one by one with hot glue. Place Linus somewhere near his revered Great Pumpkin. Finish the wreath by placing a bright orange ribbon at the top, just off center. While it is a bit time intensive, this paper mache wreath can be reused year after year.

I’ve always wished that the “Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin” film was longer, so a few years ago I came up with the design for this wreath. The figures are nothing more than paper mache crafted from a little flour, water, and tissue paper and they last a lot longer than a half hour.
