When Audi was a young’un in Sugar House, Utah he enjoyed making cheesecloth ghosts with his family. Â I had never heard of such a thing. Â So over the weekend we had a grand time reliving Audi’s childhood and creating some Halloween decor that our house has been lacking. Â These ghosts are really fun and easy to make. Â Plus, we had practically all the necessities to make them (except for the cheesecloth) right here in the house! Â Meaning these guys are super friendly on the decorating budget! Â Casper was a friendly ghost, right?
Here’s what we did in pictures:
You can seriously use anything to create your ghost form. Â Balloons, bottles, plastic forks for the arms, etc. Â We used aluminum foil for the head and attached with duct tape. Â Doesn’t duct tape have just so many uses??? Â Then drape your form with the cheesecloth. Â And then… As you can see we used spray Mod Podge, because that’s what I had in my craft room. Â Spray starch or hair spray would also work just fine. Â Just spray all over and let dry. Â Then repeat once the first application is dry. Â After your ghost is completely dry you can carefully remove the form and you are left with a ghostly apparition that stands up all on his own!
