Comments on How to Make a Cheesecloth Ghost

I found a string of 50 clear, battery-operated mini Christmas lights that I placed under my ghost after it was completely dry.

After my ghost dried, I turned it upside down and glued several layers of cheesecloth together so the layers wouldn't separate and fall apart.

Instead of cheesecloth, you can use muslin. Soak in liquid starch. Wrap hanger around jar so hanger ends are sticking out. Cover hanger with foil. Then cover with muslin. This will give the effect of arms sticking out when completed. Reusable for years.

You can also use liquid starch for this project. I made mine 17 years ago using starch and I still have it.

If you want the ghosts to look even better and are willing to spend a few more bucks, dip them in liquid starch and hang them over a balloon. Make sure to leave the ends dry so they don't harden. You want them to sway in the wind!

I have found that, if you dip the cheesecloth in liquid starch, it will hold the form better.
