Super-Easy Halloween Crafts: Handmade Cheesecloth Ghosts

The first thing you’ll want to do is make the ghost molds. To do that, blow up the balloons and set them on top of a plastic cup. If you want your ghosts to have two hands then take two pipe cleaners and set them inside the cup forming two arms per se.

Double up the cheesecloth and drape it over the mold. Liberally spray the cheesecloth with the spray starch. Wait for it to dry and then spray again. You need to repeat the spraying process many times over several hours. I usually do it about 5-6 times. If you don’t spray it enough, then the ghost will lose its shape.

Once the spraying process is done, pop the balloon using a pin and carefully remove it from the cheesecloth. It will probably stick some, but if you’re careful it won’t be an issue. Attach the felt circles using white glue or hot glue. Hang using fishing line.
