Frequently asked questions
What is the best DIY ghost?
Cheesecloth dipped in starch, draped over a foam-ball-on-a-stake, lit from below with a battery LED candle. Total cost under $15, total effect: the most photographed thing in your yard. Make three in varied heights and cluster them.
Can ghosts work indoors?
Yes. Hang lightweight gauze ghosts from a chandelier or ceiling hook so they float at varied heights. Use one larger statement ghost and two smaller floaters. Movement is what sells the effect.
Are sheet ghosts too tacky?
Old-school sheet ghosts done well are charming and editorial, especially in a cluster on a porch. The trick is staking them firmly so they hold the shape, and lighting them from below so the fabric glows.
