Halloween Ghost Lanterns
How cute are these?These are simple and adorable. Another big plus is that you will probably not have to buy a thing to make them. All you need are clean milk jugs, permanent markers, a craft knife, and a string of white holiday lights.
Simply have your kids draw scary ghost faces on a few clean milk jugs. It may help to draw the outline in washable markers first. Then when they are sure that they like the image they can use the permanent markers.
When the faces are all done you need to use the craft knife to cut the holes at the bottom of the jugs for the lights to fit into. That is all that is to it. Very easy and fun.
The best part is that you will not have to worry about storing them for next year. Since the jugs do not cost you anything you can just make new ones each year. You can start a new tradition to go along with pumpkin carving.
Are you a pro at arts and crafts and this one is to easy for you? You can get creative and make more than just ghosts. They can get as detailed as you want them to be.

What a great idea. We're having friends over to carve pumpkins on Friday night, and I just might have to add these ghosties to the mix.
Thanks for the creative idea!
