Ghostly Jugs
I found these cute little ghosts in Family Fun Magazine (which I love!). If your house is like mine, you always have empty milk jugs, so it's nice to recyle them into an easy & cute craft.
We haven't put the lights in the jugs yet, but the boys had fun painting the faces on the jugs.
I love fun Halloween crafts and decorations! And I've loved looking through the holiday ideas that all of Scribbit's readers have shared!
**Update**
We finished our jugs today, and 5 of them are happily sitting on the porch. They look so bright and cheery! They were easy easy to make and totally free. The hardest part was cutting the light holes with the exacto knife, and finding rocks to weigh down the jugs. This is a GREAT project for ages 2-10!

Aren't these the cutest? We'll definitely be making them, but the faces will have to be cheerful - Maya is being easily "spooked" this year!
Thank you for your kind comments at Grandmother Wren's. You've reminded me that I need to start my new Link List.
(guess who the first link is?)

Those are so cute! I would have never thought to use those for that purpose. Great idea!
I have like a bazillian empty milk cartons so this is perfect for me. I also like that it is easy enough for kids to do alone. Thanks.
I do love this idea. You did a nice job on the faces.
Those are really cute--I'm going to start saving the milk jugs :)
