Idea #12: Cheesecloth Ghosts That Stand on Their Own
These little cheesecloth ghosts stand by themselves on your table like tiny friendly spirits keeping watch over dinner. Fabric stiffener does the magic — drape, dry, done — and kids are genuinely delighted by them.
Form each ghost over a small bottle or balloon, let it dry overnight, then pop the form out. Add felt eyes and group three ghosts among candles and pumpkins. They weigh nothing, store flat-ish in a box, and have been a Halloween craft classic for decades for a reason.
