Materials:
Cheesecloth
Liquid Starch
Form (we used a balloon and a milk carton)
Spray Bottle
Black Marker

1. Create a form using a milk carton and a balloon or foam shapes from the craft store.

2. Drape a layer of cheesecloth over your form and spray with the liquid starch until the material is saturated. Using a spray bottle keeps the mess to a minimum. Repeat until you get the desired effect. The more layers you drape over your form, the more ghostly your creation will be. Allow 24 hours to dry and then remove from the form.

3. Create a face with a black marker
