• Make a mixture of about 2 cups warm water with 1 cup white sugar. Stir to dissolve. While sugar is dissolving make a form to make your ghost. I used a small jar covered with aluminum foil in the shape of a ghost.

• Once sugar has completely dissolved soak pieces of cheesecloth in mixture. Remove and drape over "ghost form". Keep layering until you have about 3-4 layers of cheesecloth over the entire form.

• Allow to dry a minimum of overnight. May take longer.

• Once dry remove form from underneath. Your ghost should be quite firm.

• Decorate with eyes, nose, a hat or whatever you choose.

• These make great Halloween decorations for dinner tables, at your doorway or on your desk.
