Easy to Make Table Top Ghost Decoration

Ghost Craft Materials

White cheesecloth fabric cut into 12-inch squares
Large bowl and mixing spoon
Rubber gloves
2 cups nontoxic white craft glue - we like Elmer's Glue, diluted with 1/2-cup water
16-oz plastic cups
Waxed paper lined cookie sheet

Instructions for Making Cheesecloth Ghost Decorations

Line the cookie sheet with waxed paper.
Dip a square of cheesecloth into the diluted glue; wring out excess moisture.
Drape the glue-soaked cheesecloth loosely over a plastic cup on the lined cookie sheet; allow to dry for two days until stiff and not sticky.
Carefully remove each ghost from its plastic cup form.
Decorate the ghost faces with a fine tip black marker, or add glitter for sparkle.

Use your crafty ghosts as table decorations, wreath ornaments, or hang your spooky goblins from the window or ceiling with fishing line or string.
