A homemade ghost

With finances being really tight this year, I started doing a search for some homemade Halloween decorations and ran into a video on how to make a ghost out of some wood, gauze and starch. It seems like it's simple to do and fairly inexpensive. Where would I find that much gauze though? Michael's?
Gosh, this ghost would look really neat in a graveyard setting!!

Don't look for gauze. Look for Cheesecloth. Every craft store or craft section in a store should have cheese cloth somewhere. It's fairly inexpensive too.

Grocery stores carry cheesecloth too. Look in the baking supply aisle.

Oh I like the way cheesecloth looks! Does it come in large sheets? I always imagined it being in little pieces.

Aren't they cool! I just don't want to go out and buy all those power tools, they look pretty expensive.

I like the gravestones too. They look more real then the gravestones I see in most yard haunts. The only thing that does not look real is the words. They look too fake to be on a real stone.

If you have fabric stores around (especially if you have a strip in town that has a few fabric stores), cheesecloth is usually cheaper than at craft stores. You can buy it by the meter.
