Soak  cheesecloth in bowl oft liquid starch. Pull each sheet out one at a time and squeeze the excess moisture out. 
ghostsfor shaping use aluminum foil around mild  container   or balloons if making ceiling 
Once everything is thoroughly dry, lift the ghosts off the jugs or bottles. The ghosts will be able to stand or any flat surface. I recommend 5 -6 layers of grade 20 cheesecloth . if you use a higher grade say 40 or 50 you will need only 4 layers . Basically spend more use less


Allow the cheesecloth to dry for at least a full 24 hours.
