Easy -cheap! kids Halloween decor!

Well I have never REALLY decorated our homes yet since we have rented and unless its Christmas it just wasn't a priority...but now I am so into it and want to go ALL out for every theme...
So all of you Halloween crazed crafters are tempting me slowly to go crazy! lol
Here is one of many I am crazy about because I love for my kids to help do crafts and its SUPER CHEAP! I found this over at eighteen25 and she is so right kids go through milk like it's their job this should be a sinch before Halloween rolls around!!

what you'll need:


clean gallon milk jugs

black permanent marker

craft knife

string of clear low-wattage Christmas lights

step one: draw some spooky faces on your milk jugs.

step two: let your kids color in the faces while you bake a batch of cookies.


step three: using the craft knife (mom), cut a hole in the lower backside of the jug. about the size of a half dollar (or maybe a little bigger since i couldn't picture a half dollar).

step four: line all of your ghosts up and stuff several lights in each one.

step five: place your group of glowing spirit jugs along your walkway or front porch to welcome those cute little holiday guests.

<3 Them!
