Scary Ghostly Jugs Arts & Crafts Activity

With Halloween fast approaching, I took it upon myself to dedicate all my arts and crafts postings for the month of October to this spooky holiday. Position these homemade spirit lanterns along a path, by the entranceway or on a porch, as they will happily greet all visitors with their spooky, ghostly expressions!

A little while back, as I was navigating the internet, I came across this activity idea from Disney Family Fun. I absolutely love making this arts and crafts, thanks to its simplicity and originality. Not to mention the fun! Your little ones will have a great time decorating their very own scary lantern.

The necessary material

• Plastic gallon milk, water, juice or oil jugs
• Black permanent marker
• Craft knife
• String of 50 clear low-wattage holiday lights

The how-to

• Thoroughly clean the jugs to avoid all unpleasant smells. Dry off completely. 
• Draw ghost eyes and mouths of your liking on the jugs. Make sure you leave the caps on while you do this so the jugs don't dent.
• Use the craft knife to cut a one inch hole in the back of each jug (to be performed by a grownup only).
• Arrange the ghosts near each other and string the lights between them, stuffing several bulbs into each of the jugs.
• Time to enjoy your wonderful creation! 

Happy Halloween everyone!
