What this video covers
Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie walk through building a glowing chicken wire ghost designed to float in a yard haunt setting. The ghost is shaped using chicken wire over a mannequin form, suspended with fishing line, and finished with glow-in-the-dark spray paint and Halloween lighting for a striking nighttime effect. The creators note the glow paint alone delivers minimal results, but combining it with dedicated Halloween lights produces the full glowing look. A fog machine adds an atmospheric finishing touch that elevates the overall display.

- ◆Chicken wire shaped over a mannequin creates a convincing ghost silhouette with minimal materials
