DIY Floating Ghost Tutorial

Directions

1. Start by making a hole in the bottom of a Solo Cup and sticking the dowel rod through it. Then, brace the dowel rod in the cup with duct tape. The end of the dowel rod should be even with the opening of the cup.
2. Tape the cup face down. Add some extra tape around the dowel rod to make sure it’s nice and sturdy.
3. Then, push the styrofoam down on the dowel rod and drape the cheesecloth on top to figure out how much you need, and cut to your desired length.
4. Create a mixture of flour and water in your bowl. The water and flour mixture isn’t an exact science - be generous with the flour and make enough to soak your cheesecloth because… next, you’ll dip your cheesecloth in the mixture and squish it around until it’s nice and soaked.
5. Now drape the cheesecloth over the styrofoam ball and let it dry overnight.
6. Once your ghosts are dry, you can use a Sharpie to draw faces on them. And if you’re a creative 6-year-old, you can also add eyelashes.
7. To hang mine, I used a needle and threaded fishing line through the top of the ghost. Then I used a Command Hook to hang it from the ceiling.
