Spooky milk jug tutorial

HOW SPIFFY IS THIS???
milk jug

HERE IS THE TUTORIAL COMPLIMENTS OF MARILLA

Spooky milk jug tutorial, idea originally from Oh So Shabby by Debbie Reynolds

Materials

Clean plastic gallon, half gallon, or quart milk jugs
Sharpie marker (black)
Scissors
String of 50 clear (or orange) low-wattage holiday lights, or battery operated tealights (I prefer this)

Instructions

Make sure the jugs are washed out and thoroughly dried.
Draw ghost eyes and mouths on the jugs, or draw a jack o’ lantern face. Since the battery operated tea lights give off an orangey glow, if you’re using them you might want to go that route. Tip: Leave the caps on while you do this, so the jugs don’t dent.
Use the scissors to cut a fairly large hole in the back of each jug. You might need to poke a hole with a sharp knife first.
Arrange the ghosts near each other and string the lights between them, stuffing several bulbs into each of the jugs, or, just put a battery operated tea light in each.

Another idea, if you don’t have low-wattage lights, is to make a very large hole in the back of each jug, then wrap a glass jar (an old spaghetti sauce jar works) with the lights, taping it on the wire parts only. This way the heat from the high-watt lights won’t touch and burn through the plastic.

And another idea is to put a witches’ hat on top or tie a pretty halloween ribbon around the tops of each one to disguise the cap (or the sell-by date!).

THANKS FOR OUR FIRST TUTE MARILLA! WE APPRECIATE IT.
