These Ghostly Spirits will be a spooky addition to your Halloween decor.
What you'll need:-Cheesecloth
-Googly Eyes
-Glue (white all-purpose glue)
-Plastic or paper cups
-Small Balloons (I used water balloons)
-Fishing Line
-Tape
-Scissors
The how to:
-Tape the bottoms of two cups together. Place a balloon in the mouth of the cup and tape it to the cup.
-Cut the cheesecloth in 12x12 inch. squares. (Each ghost will need two cheesecloth squares)
-Place one cloth in a bowl and squeeze glue over the top. Use your hands to rub the glue into the cloth, squeezing into a tight ball.
-Cloth only needs to be damp with glue not saturated. If you can squeeze glue out of the cloth there is too much.
-Gently unwad the cloth and drape it over the top of balloon.
-Repeat the process with the second cloth and drape it over the first cloth, arranging it so the long corners offset the corners of the first cloth.
-If corners of cloth hang to low simply trim with scissor. Allow to dry completely.
-When dry, hot glue the eyes in place and pop the balloon with a pin.
-Thread the fishing line through the top of the ghost and secure with a knot. It is now ready to hang!
