Here’s what you’ll need to make your own Fabric Ghosts…
(this should make around 3 ghosts)
- 1 yard of white fabric – cheesecloth or polyester are both light materials and work well
- liquid starch
- *optional spray bottle
- objects to mold the ghosts with – I used: a bowl and a flower pot for the head shapes, a practice sports cone, sticks or dowels work great for the arms
- black foam sheet
- scissors
- low temp glue gun or fabric glue

*I made my ghosts in the yard, so I really didn’t have to protect any surface. If you plan on making this inside do it on a protected surface
- pour liquid starch into a bucket to dip the fabric in
- immerse fabric and wring out excess liquid starch
- place the fabric over the cone and bowl
- using sticks or dowels, prop the extra fabric up to make arms
- *as an alternative to dipping the fabric into liquid starch, you can spray it with liquid starch from a spray bottle – just make sure the starch completely wets the fabric
