– Cheesecloth – Fabric Stiffener – Balloons – Paper or Plastic Cups – Tape – Buttons or Googly Eyes – Plastic Tarp

Supplies

Step 1: Lay out your tarp or protective covering over your work surface.

Instructions

For the smaller ghost, tape two 8–10 oz. cups together as shown. For the larger ghost, you can use a red plastic cup alone, or to make it taller, stack them up and tape them together as shown here.

Step 2: For the small ghost, blow up a balloon so it fits in the palm of your hand. For a larger ghost, it should be about the size of a cantaloupe.

Step 3: Set the balloon on top of the cup and place a piece of tape on each side to hold it in place.
