DIY Halloween Cheesecloth Ghosts

I've had some cheesecloth sitting around for about five years, just waiting to make these ghosts! I used to make them with my mom when I was little, and I was excited to find the cheesecloth again this year and finally get down to the business of making them with my own kids!
You'll need a few items from around the house to create a form. I used a bottle, a small apple, and a wire hanger. Then you'll need your cheesecloth and some heavy starch.
My daughters loved arranging the cheesecloth over the form we made in order to make the scariest looking ghosts. The hardest part is waiting for them to dry--it took almost two days!
You can have so much fun with these decorations! You could hang them from the ceiling, add googly eyes, or make many different shapes with them.
Our favorite was to add an LED candle under them at night for a spooky ghostly glow!
