. . . Juice Bottle Ghosts Revisited . . .

This post was one of my most popular Halloween Crafts last year so I thought we'd revisit it again.  These Juice Bottle Ghosts have to be one of the easiest things to make and they turn out so cute!  Here we go...

I buy Trop50 Orange Juice and I love the shape of the bottle.  I'm always brainstorming ideas on what I can do with them instead of tossing them out.  I decided to use up a few of my stash and make Ghosts for Halloween.  If I do say so myself I think they turned out really good.  My son just loved them when I put them out so anytime he is complimentary I know I'm on to something.

You will need:

 Tropicana OJ Bottle or something similar

Spray Paint

Wood circles and ovals or something similar to create the face

Black Rafia

Mini Cupcake Liners

• Spray Paint your bottles-this took several coats

•I purchased my bag of wood pieces at Michael's

• I layed out all the faces prior to spray painting them black so I knew which pieces to use

• Once the pieces for the face dry use E6000 glue to adhere them to your bottles

• Let them dry while laying flat or they will slip down the bottle--not pretty

• Use a mini cupcake liner to cover the top of your bottle.  You'll want to cut little slits all around it so it folds neatly.

Put a rubber band around the cupcake liner to hold in place while you wrap the bottle top with rafia ribbon.  Leave some "stringy" pieces for decoration

So much better than just tossing the empty bottles out, don't you think?
