METHOD
Unwind neck of wire hanger. Wrap middle of hanger once around neck of two-liter bottle. Bend wire in a U-shape to create arms. Push Styrofoam ball onto top of two-liter bottle. Drape cheesecloth over ball and wire to create ghost shape. Pour starch into spray bottle. Thoroughly spray cheesecloth with starch. Air dry completely or use a hair dryer (repeat if not to desired stiffness). Once dry, remove cheesecloth. Cut eyes from black felt, glue to cheesecloth.
