and one to be down.

want to tape down any
pieces that are sticking out.

1. Clean out your empty milk jug.
2. Draw a Halloween or ghost
face using a pencil and then
color it in with a permanent
marker.

face, cut a 3 sided opening flap
just about 2 inches wide and 2
inches tall. (Ask your adult for
help with this part)
4. Place a few rocks in the
bottom of your milk jugs to
weigh them down, so they
don't fall over or blow away.
5. In the same opening, add part
of the string of lights. Then
lead the lights to the next
opening. Put about 5 to 7
lights in each jug.
