23 EASY AND COOL DIY HALLOWEEN DECOR IDEAS

 

HALLOWEEN DECOR IDEASWhen I was a little girl my dad had a couple of these cute ghosts on our piano during Halloween I remember thinking they really floated not knowing that it was starch that held them up This year I decided it was time to make some for my friends to experience I used liquid starch which is kind of hard to come by Plus it s a lot of money to spend on a ghost or two So I found a better and cheaper way to make these Here s what you need Cheesecloth I just found mine in the baking section of the grocery store and it was about 3 I used the whole package for one ghost I cut it in half and used 2 layers to make it sturdier Black felt CornstarchWaterAny kind of make shift stand to support the cheesecloth while it dries out First you start by making homemade liquid starch Pour 2 cups of water into a microwave safe container Then add one cup of cornstarch and mix it really well Microwave in 30 second increments stirring in between until it gets thick Mine took about 2 minutes total This is kind of what you re going for Set that aside and let it cool off a little bit You don t want it to get cold though Meanwhile set up your make shift stand You can use cups balloons Styrofoam balls Whatever you can find to make the right shape and size You just want to make sure you can pull it out from under the cheesecloth once it s dry Balloons are nice because you can pop them I didn t have any balloons on hand so here s what I used I put some freezer paper on the table so that the ghost would have something to sit on besides the table while it dried Next I cut the cheesecloth in half I wanted to make my ghost a little sturdier Coat each piece of cheesecloth with the cornstarch It took a little bit of working it in You want to make sure it is completely coated Drape the pieces of cheesecloth one at a time over your make shift stand and make sure you arrange it how you want it Once it s dry you can t really change anything Once you ve got it perfect allow it to completely dry Mine took overnight When it s stiff carefully remove the cheesecloth from the mold and glue on two felt eyes It s really hard to capture on camera but the ghost is completely see through and looks like it s just floating TIMESTAMPS 0 14 Awesome pumpkin ideas2 54 Toothy pumpkin5 02 Your body your ghost7 27 Skeletons Our Social Media For more videos and articles visit
