How To Make A Cheesecloth Ghost

Supplies:

Cheesecloth

White sugar or liquid starch

Warm water

Bowl for mixing the solution

Black and white felt for eyes (or purchase google eyes)

Scissors for trimming and cutting the cheesecloth,

A small jar or bottle, or an inflated balloon (this is to help shape the ghosts form).

Basic Instructions:

Make a mixture of about 2 cups warm water with 1 cup white sugar or liquid starch. Stir to dissolve. While solution is dissolving make a form to make your ghost. Used a small jar covered with aluminum foil in the shape of a ghost.

Once sugar has completely dissolved soak pieces of cheesecloth in mixture. Remove and drape over "ghost form". Keep layering until you have about 3-4 layers of cheesecloth over the entire form.

Allow to dry a minimum of overnight. May take longer.

Once dry remove supportive form from underneath. Your ghost should be quite firm.

Decorate your ghost form and your ready to display your spooky new friend.

You can hang the ghost from a tree (weather permitting), from a door way, or place on a table for decoration.
