LINIT® Starch OR LINIT® Starch-n-Crafts™ Stiffener
Accessories made from felt, ribbon or construction paper (lace, silk flowers, and other pretty items)
Empty paper towel roll, cut to desired height
Ball or rolled up aluminum foil to size of head you want
Plastic drinking straws
Process:
Cut cheesecloth to desired size (depending upon the size figure you want to make).
Pour LINIT® Starch into clean basin or bowl. Immerse cheesecloth in starch and let soak for a few minutes. If using spray stiffener, spray heavily and let sit for a few minutes.
Remove cheesecloth from starch, let excess starch drain back into bowl.
Place ball on top of paper towel roll for the head. Drape the cheesecloth over the form and arrange. Use straws to make arms for a ghost - or wings for an angel. Let dry. (May take overnight to dry completely).
Remove straws and paper towel roll and the form will stand on its own.
If you are making a ghost, glue decorations onto the white cheesecloth.
If you are making an angel, you might want to spray the form gold before decorating.
