Step 2:
Place a piece of tissue paper, fabric or cloth over the top of each soda bottle, and tie a string around the neck of the bottle. The part above the neck will be the head of your ghosts. Let the remaining tissue paper, fabric or cloth hang down covering the bottle. This will be the body of the ghosts.
