But if we were to do this again, we would choose a sturdier mold \u2013 such as a water bottle, glass jar, mason jar or wine bottle.<\/li>\n<li>We recommend using the <a href=\"https:\/\/trimaco.com\/products\/dropcloths\/stay-put-canvas-plus\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Stay Put Canvas Drop Cloth<\/a>. It will not only give you leak proof protection, but we learned that the liquid starch can absorbed the tan coloring of traditional canvas drop cloths.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you really let the liquid starch drip before placing the soaked cheesecloth onto the mold. Trust us &#8211;  the assembly, dry time and cleanup will be much faster.<\/li>\n<li>Leave your ghost standing or add a hole in the top of the head, thread a piece of clear thread or twine (roughly 3-4 feet), and fly your ghost from a tree limb!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Other spooktacular Halloween decor ideas<\/h2>\n<p>Need other easy Halloween decorating projects to accompany your cheesecloth ghosts?
