Ghost Tutorial

Today's post is going to be my first tutorial ~ a ghost tutorial. 

I had a couple people ask me how I made my ghost I shared on Friday so here's how I made it.

supplies

wooden post cut to length -i used a scrap 1x1 that measured about 26" -could be any size you desire though

scrap piece of wood for base

cheesecloth (mine was tea dyed & was the smallest pack @ joanns - i think it was the 4yds size)

white fabric (mine was a scrap that was tea dyed too)

stuffing -can be fiber fill or scraps

black fabric or paint for eyes & mouth

Directions:

1. attach post to base

2. take fabric & cut out ghost shape (need 2 or cut on fold once) (mine was approx 17" long but again you can make any size-i liked having some post at bottom -made the cheesecloth drape nice)

3. sew up sides of ghost body leaving opening at bottom

4. place ghost body on post & fill with stuffing material till has a nice round ghost shape

5. use your glue gun to close opening at bottom by gluing fabric to post

6. cut out eyes &mouth -glue on or you can paint them on

7. drape cheesecloth over ghost body &cut to desired length (mine went all the way to the base) - i draped 1 piece from front to back then 2nd piece side to side

And you are done!

It's really a fun & easy craft to make.  Have fun & let me know if you make one, how it turns out!
