Heat in microwave for 15 seconds at a time, stirring until it is a thick paste. Let cool. | When paste is cool enough to touch, dip sheet of cheesecloth into it. Coat cheesecloth completely, then squeeze out excess paste. |
Drape cheesecloth over balloon. Use a few sheets. Allow to dry completely. | When dry, ghost can stand by itself. Remove from balloon/glass stand. | Cut two eyes from black felt and attach with white glue. |
