Halloween Decoration

Milk Jug Ghosts

These milk jug ghosts are an easy craft for kids and a great Halloween decoration. A flameless alternative to a jack-o-lantern, this easy DIY Halloween activity re-purposes a regular old milk jug into a ghoolishly good ghost.

This crazy craft only requires four things...

  • Clean milk jug (we are using a 4 litre milk jug)
  • Flameless candle (available at dollar stores)
  • Permanent marker
  • Scissors (parents or older kids should do the cutting)

First, have your child draw a face on the milk jug.

Cut a hole in the bottom of milk jug (I scored an X in the bottom with scissors and simply pressed in the sides - it's easier than trying to cut a circle - and I'm all for easy when it comes to crafting).

Turn on flameless candle and put it in bottom of milk jug.

DONE! Have your kids make a whole family of milk jug ghosts and line your stairs or walkway for Halloween.
