Making a plastic Milk Jug Ghost is fun and easy.
You Will Need
1 empty gallon milk jug.
1 white plastic bag.
black Sharpie.
piece of wire or string about 15 to 18 inches long.
Instructions
Wash out an empty gallon milk jug.
Remove cap and place the bottom of a white plastic grocery bag or a white kitchen trash bag over the rim.
Put the lid up inside the bag and screw back on, securing the bag on the neck of the milk jug.
With the bag at the bottom and the handle at the back, use a black Sharpie to draw ghostly features on the milk jug.
Make two holes in the bottom of the milk jug (which is now the top) and run a wire in and out. Twist the ends together and it’s ready to hang on a tree branch.
Fluff out the bag so the breeze will catch it and make it wave.
Make several for a yard full of ghosts!

That’s cool – and kinda scary looking with those crazy eyes!

Thank you sharing this! I’ve been trying to find an easy, inexpensive Halloween craft for kids (we have an event at work). This is perfect and something we haven’t done yet.
That is a great idea. I will have to remember to tell my granddaughter. She loves Halloween and this would be perfect for her to make.
Beautiful idea! Visiting from Pink Saturday.

This is so cute! I’ll have to try to make these with my little guys. They are only 20 months, but I could let them go to town with a sharpie. (Though they might end up with more on them than the ghost.) Anyway, I’d love for you to share this (or any other fall-themed posts) you have planned at my Fall Bucket List Idea Share. Just started and open all of September. Thanks so much!

I wonder what they would look like if you put a small string of white Christmas lights in them? May have to try. Love the idea.
