Tulle Ghost
This Spooky Floating Tulle Ghost is so easy and adorable you simply can’t help but love it. One special ingredient makes these SUPER easy!
Equipment
- Spray starch – Heavy hold (found in the laundry aisle of any grocery store)
- White tulle – about 6 inches wide
- Styrofoam ball or 1/2 styrofoam ball (found at any craft store). The 1/2 ball I used was about 5.7 inches
- Plastic saran wrap
- Water bottle or something sturdy to hold the styrofoam ball
- Black craft felt or craft foam for eyes
- Hot glue
- Scissors
- Paper towels or newspaper
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace with paper towels or newspaper
- Place a couple of layers of plastic saran wrap over the paper towels. Saran wrap prevents sticking
- Wrap the base (I used a water bottle) and styrofoam ball in plastic saran wrap also. I found the metal rim of the water bottle easy to attach the ball
- Attach the styrofoam ball to the water bottle base
- Place a 3-foot strip of tulle centered around the ghost stand and spray it liberally with starch. Keep in mind, they don’t have to be 3 ft. strips! It all depends on the height of the base you’re using
- Next, place another strip across the ghost evenly (creating an X shape) and then spray that strip liberally with starch
- Place the third and fourth strips diagonally (also in an X shape) filling in the space around the ghost
- Repeat steps 5-7 this process 2 more times for a total of 12 strips – you can always do more for a larger/taller ghost or as needed
- Gently press the top of the tulle down around the round styrofoam ball
- Press the ends of the tulle evenly around the base so it will stand once it is dry
