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
