Step-by-step tutorial
Warning
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!
Step 1
Gather your materials!
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Begin wrapping the object or model in packing tape (over the plastic wrap). Continue until it’s entirely wrapped in packing tape.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the mold from your object or model.
Step 7
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!
Final result!
Use your spooky packing tape ghost as decoration for Halloween!
