- Cut it into your desired height for your ghost’s look or let the drape barely touch the floor.
- Remove the bowl, then paint it with the spray paint. You’ll need to paint the bowl thoroughly to make it look well match with the drape.
- After the bowl has dried, then put it back to the top of the barrel and remove the clip.
- Now start to make the ghost face by making two eyes and one nose from the black felt. Cut three oval shapes in different sizes for the ghost’s face. You can use your own creativity to create a spookier impression.
