Another two party week. One of the parties this week will be a Ghost Story Party for kids. I made some ghosts for the hooks on my ceiling, inspired by The Martha. She recommends making her ghosts out of cheesecloth and I have made this version before. This time I opted for the cheapest, thinnest muslin. I wasn't sure it could be done but they turned out just fine. First cut small squares of cloth and spray on both sides with a heavy duty spray starch. I made 24 ghosts out of 3 yards of fabric.
The Martha recommends using paper towel tubes as molds but I do not buy paper towels. I trolled the recycle bin and found some good bottles. Fill them with water so they don't tip on you. I made a head out of an aluminum foil ball and added arms on some by wrapping some craft wire around the bottle neck. I ended up doing three coats of spray on the creatures.
Let the haunting begin.
