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?
