Morning Show Project by DAZ
Floating Ghost Project
Monday, October 1, 2001


 Supplies:

  • 1yd. Cheesecloth
  • 1 sheet yellow poster board
  • Clear or white, round Christmas Bulb
  • 1 foam Bat
  • Black Felt
  • Wire coat Hanger
  • Scissors
  • Fishing line
  • Decorative Halloween Wire garland
  • Glue
  • Tape
  • White paint to cover hanger if needed
Instructions:

1. Cut a 12" circle out of the yellow poster board. I traced around a dinner plate. Set aside.

2. Paint the top of the ornament if needed and let dry.
3. Bend a wire coat hanger into the shape shown in the picture. Basically I just bent the sides back and the hook up.
4. Cut eyes and mouth shapes out of the black felt and glue them to the bulb.
5. Make a small hole in the center of the cheesecloth. Drape the cheesecloth over the Christmas ornament so that the hole fits over the ornament hanger.

6. Tie the fishing line to the ornament hanger.

7. Now tie the other end of the fishing line to the coat hanger on the neck of the hook.
8. Run one end of the wire garland through a small piece of cheesecloth on each side of the bulb to create the arms. Now attach the other end of the wire to coat hanger, refer to photo.

9. Tape the moon to the front of the coat hanger. Glue the foam bat to the bottom of the moon. This helps to hide the fishing line. I think this makes a cute 3 dimensional Halloween decoration. Change the shape of the eyes and mouth to create all kinds of expressions. Have fun and have a safe Halloween, DAZ
