Milk jug ghosts

I came across this idea from a Family Fun magazine. I thought it was pretty cute and extremely easy for this non crafter person. :P

I've been collecting milk jugs, cleaning them and then letting them dry out. We finally got to do our little project. Handed the girls some markers and they colored their own faces on their ghosts (and I did one too as an example). Oh, and yes. I really did let Brenna have use of a Sharpie non-washable marker. I know. I was feeling brave. But she did very well! And even impressed me with her ability to draw the face and color it all in the lines very well. She did it all on her own.

Then (the parents) cut a whole in the back and the girls stuffed some Christmas lights into the inside...

And voila! Milk jug ghosts are born!

Brooke wanted to a jack o lantern type face. I did a happy face and Brenna wanted to do a sad face. We put them outside in the spirit of Halloween.

The girls love them and I think they are kinda cute myself! :)
