Milk Jug Ghosts are so quick and easy to create and they were a huge hit in our house!! Our family uses a lot of milk so when I found Arts To Crafts tutorial for them I had to try them out! I grabbed a six pack of battery tea lights for $2.50 at Christmas Tree Shoppes to go with the craft!
Supply List for Milk Jug Ghosts:
- Empty clean milk jugs
- Battery operated tea light
- Scissors
- Black Paint Marker or Black Paint & Brush
Steps to Create Milk Jug Ghosts:
- Be sure to properly clean milk jug and allow to dry
- Use your paint to create the face of the ghost. You can create any design on the milk jug and allow the kids to create their own as well
- On the backside of your milk jug right below where the handle is use your scissors to cut a hole to allow you to put in the battery operated tea light
- Turn on the tea light to create light the ghost up!!!
I love this idea I need try
This is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Cute and cheap!
ahh that is cute and looks like a fun craft for my little nieces and my son! I think I will try this this year. I bought a pumpkin and put it outside to await carving but something is already eating on it!!!
They turned out great! Love the different faces for your ghosts.
I am planning on doing this project this year with my son. We go through at least 4 or 5 gallon jugs of milk and water a month so this is a great way to recycle those.
These are really easy to make and milk jugs are easy to get - or TH tea jugs. I like that I can draw the face that I want on each one. I dont have to use real pumpkins and risk them getting bad before Halloween is over. thanks for the info
Some of the best decorations I have seen are handmade-homemade.These milk jug Ghosts not only let one be expressive but they are inexpensive and can bring the family together in quality time making them.

You are so clever! Love this!
I love this. I am going to do this for halloween because I hate carving pumpkins.
