With the excess wire, lace up the back to create a freestanding cylinder. Cut off the excess, and fold your piece of screen mesh in half. With one roll of screen mesh, create another cylinder at the top of the skirt.
You will then begin to mold the chicken wire, pushing and pulling at the skirt to create a circle and pleats, while pinching pleats down the skirt. Twist the excess wire to hold the waist in place, and cut the remainder with wire cutters. Cinch the waist as tight as possible, and bend in the pleats to make a circular waist. You will begin to create the skirt of the dress, and you will cinch the pleats together with the string. Begin to create “pleats” at the top of the upright cylinder, while interweaving the long wire at the top. Cut several pieces of this 4″ wire, and begin to tie the large tube of chicken wire together. With wire cutters, cut about a 4″ piece of the long extra wire.
Create one large circle and turn upright.With one roll of Chicken Wire, unravel and unroll completely and decide on one end to be the bottom (keep the long wire that held the roll together and keep nearby).
#CHICKEN WIRE GHOSTS TRIAL#
Here’s our DIY Version, and it is all about trial and error (and your chicken wire pinching skills!) We created a little spin off on the Chicken Wire Dress, and made a Chicken Wire & Mesh Ghost Bride. Seems like these Chicken Wire masters are keeping their secret safe in the coop. We have all seen this infamous Chicken Wire Ghost on Pinterest, but we did not find an easy DIY tutorial.
