Spooky jugs
The week before Halloween. It's unusual for Halloween to be on a Monday of all things. I guess stranger things have happen. As I mentioned Saturday, I have so many craft projects lined up this year and hardly have time to do them. I suppose there is always next year but then I may find newer ones and the cycle begins again. Next year I'll start crafting in August.
Today's project is a "Go Green" and super easy project:
Spooky Jugs!
I got this project from Family Fun magazine. This book is jammed packed with projects. Here is what you need:
Milk jugs (clean of course) with lids
Sharpie marker
Craft knife or scissors (if a kiddo does this project have an adult help with cutting k?)
A strand of lights
All you do basically is draw a spooky face on the jug with the lid on the keep it for denting up, then cut a hole in the other side of the jug. The magazine calls for about a half dollar sized hole. I used my craft knife to start the hole then used my sharp scissors to make the hole wider. Also I cut the hole where the label is or towards the bottom is good.
Then you instert the lights in the back of the jugs. I have two right now but I think before the week is over I'll three jugs. Here is the one lit up in my studio:
And here is the two together out on my patio:
You can use the smaller jugs too if you have them. I choose purple lights as well to be different other white lights work just as well heck if you have enough jugs you can make a ton of spooks to line your sidewalk!
Oh and here's my Halloween lights:
Awesome huh?
