Packing Tape Ghosts

How we did it:
Materials List
- plastic wrap
- packing tape
- scissors - Use bandage scissors if using an adult model
- inanimate object - or adult model
-
Watch out!
Use adult supervision and be very careful when wrapping a model with plastic wrap and packing tape. Avoid the face and do not wrap them too tightly!
-
Gather your materials!
-
Decide what you’d like to have as a mold for your ghost and cut a piece of plastic wrap large enough to wrap it in.
-
Tip!
If you’re using an adult model, make sure that you’re not wrapping too tightly and always ask the model if it feels too tight.
-
Continue wrapping the object or model in plastic wrap until it’s entirely wrapped.
-
Tip!
You may have to use several layers of plastic wrap to cover all the areas.
-
Begin wrapping the object or model in packing tape (over the plastic wrap). Continue until it’s entirely wrapped in packing tape.
-
Very carefully cut the mold off of your object or model where it’s easiest to do so.
-
Tip!
You want to make as few cuts as possible because you will have to tape these “seams” back together later.
-
Remove the mold from your object or model.
-
Tape the mold back together at its seams (where you cut it off of your object or model).
-
Tip!
You may want to stuff your mold to better keep its shape. Try experimenting with plastic wrap, stretchy white spider webs, or string lights to light it up!
-
Use your spooky packing tape ghost as decoration for Halloween!
