31 Days of Halloween - Cheesecloth Ghost

We are so close to Halloween, I can taste it.  It tastes like candy corn and victory.

I made a cheesecloth ghost! There are about a billion tutorials out there, and they're all super-easy.  You need cheesecloth (which is pretty inexpensive), some starch, and some rubbish to make a ghost form out of.  Grab your hair dryer too 'cause it's about to get real up in here.

I made a ghost form from a foam ball and soda bottle.  The coat hanger is to give him arms...

I could take that to the big city and sell it as abstract art... don't think I won't do it.

I draped the cheesecloth over the form and cut it to size...

And then I sprayed the whole thing with starch.  I put some towels down on my work surface first since the starch will wash out of them.

I used the ol' hair dryer...

And wouldn't you know it, the cheesecloth stood in place.  It's a miracle of modern science.

I added some eyes and a mouth.

And now it just sits on my bookshelf, haunting my home.  Love it.
I link up at these great parties!
