How to make a Halloween ghost?
You can surprise your neighbors by putting such a figurine in the yard for Halloween.
Try to impress your family by placing such hovering ghosts at home.
But first, make sure that those who see such crafts are in good health, because you can get scared when you suddenly see this. And making a ghost for Halloween is not difficult and you will need so little. It:
- packing tape;
- transparent bags;
- mannequin or volunteer;
- scissors;
- glue;
- optional - gauze or white mesh translucent fabric.
If you have a suitable mannequin, use it. First you need to make a cast body. To do this, you need to unscrew the head from the dummy.
Now slide a large transparent bag over the bodies of this exhibit with a slit downward. If you do not have a dummy, but a volunteer is helping, then make a small cutout on the top of the bag with scissors and put it on the person. You also need to make cuts in the area of / u200b / u200bthe arms.
So that you can see in which direction you need to wind the packaging film further, in the following figure, these directions are highlighted with blue tape. First, you will need to wind from the right shoulder to the left side, as if obliquely. Then it is wound in reverse order - from the left shoulder to the right side. When 3 layers of elastic film have been applied, the bottom is wrapped.
Here's how to make a ghost next. If you want him to be terrifying, then you can hang just such a figurine from the ceiling. And if you want to make the head further, you get a more complete image.
For the template, a plaster head of one of the leaders is suitable, if there is one in the house. You can also use the top of the mannequin. But in no case should you put the bag on the head of the volunteer. It is better to put the bag on the ball, on which you will pre-make your nose and lips with plasticine. Now you need to wrap your head with elastic tape. Also make about 3 turns, secure the ends of this film. Here's what you can do for now.
Insert the neck into the cut of the first part, wrap this place with tape cut into strips. You will be able to connect these two pieces this way.
To make a dress for such a ghost, put a few transparent garbage bags around his waist, after making a cutout. Cut stripes at the bottom of the bags. You can pull them slightly to make them wavy.
Put a transparent cloth or gauze on the head of this doll. Attach this garment with clear double-sided tape or glue.
Now you can place the figurine on the territory of your own home or apartment. And some place such ghosts on the balcony. It is not hard to guess what will be the vivid reaction of those around who saw this. But this must be done on Halloween, then the audience will be prepared for such spectacles.

If the boss and employees understand this kind of humor, then the top of this ghost can be fixed on the other side of the wall.
To make the woman in white more authentic, make her hands and fingers. Hair can also be made using tape or transparent bags.
If you wish, do just the hands. By enclosing LED lights, you can light up the room in the dark and decorate your house for Halloween in a proper way.
