- Glue on the wiggle eyes. Brush a small amount of powder blush on each cheek. Set aside.
- Cut the nylon netting in half on the fold. Please note: Nylon netting often comes 72″ wide in which case this will yield 4 pieces. Set aside the remaining 3 pieces for more ghosts or another project.
- Fold the nylon netting into fourths and cut a tiny hole in the center of the fold. Open the netting and insert the long tie through the hole enclosing the pom-pom. Gather the netting around the neck and tie with an additional length of thread.
