16.  How to Make Floating Ghosts

Using a spray bottle, liquid starch, cheesecloth, a wire hanger, a styrofoam ball, and a stand (like the Coke liter bottle), you can create a standing ghost! Once the cheesecloth is sprayed with liquid starch, it will hold a shape when dry. Use the wire hanger and styrofoam ball to create the shape of a ghost. You can even add eyes made of black felt or styrofoam cut into circles. (Source: Every Day is a Crafting Day, which is no longer available).
