I found this great way to make ghosts for Halloween from Martha. The lady that lived behind us made us a whole group of these (but smaller) and my mom displayed them for years in our home. I would love to do this. Except Steve would probably scream at me! I might be done decorating now...maybe... ~he he.
Cheesecloth Ghost How-To
1. Cut several 1/2-inch-deep slits into one end of a cardboard cylinder, such as paper-towel tube; fan flaps out and tape to work surface so tube stands upright. Near top of tube, make a small hole on each side; push a wire (of about the same length as the cylinder) through holes. Bend wire into outstretched arms. Top cylinder with a crumpled aluminum-foil ball, for the head.
2. Cut cheesecloth into strips (about six per ghost). Saturate the strips in liquid starch and drape over mold in various directions to cover completely. When cheesecloth dries, carefully lift ghost off mold.
