DIY Floating Ghost

Ghost spotted outside the house!  The first time I saw my ghost floating  around in the tree, I jumped.  He looks like the real deal.  This post is a re-mix. I am slightly overwhelmed with my wordpress migration! After years of seeing tutorials for this easy project, I finally created my own.  I’ve had the supplies since June thinking I would get a jump on my Halloween posts.  Um… didn’t happen.

Simple Tutorial: Stiffy fabric stiffener, gauze (I bought pre-packaged), Styrofoam ball or other household castoff to form head and a hanger to create “arms. ” Soak gauze in Stiffy, drape over form and hanger to create the arms. The gauze gets really stiff, so take the time to stretch out the gauze before it dries. I added the eyes with a permanent marker. Nothing fancy! I am in love with this little guy!
