Directions
- Start by cleaning your mason jar and removing any labels. If you'd like, you can paint the lid or add a ribbon for decoration.
- Place a layer of moss at the bottom of the jar to create a spooky, natural base for your ghost.
- Take a Styrofoam ball and wrap it loosely with a piece of gauze, letting the ends hang down to form a ghostly trail. Use a bit of glue or a twist tie to secure the gauze at the top.
- Set the wrapped gauze ghost on top of the moss inside the jar. Close the lid and your haunted decoration is ready to display.
