A spooktacular way to reuse milk jugs during the month of October. Line them along your drive way or porch to light the way on Halloween night!

Here's what you need:

Here's what you do:

  1. Use your electronic cutting machine to cut out a jack-o-lantern face out of black cardstock for each luminary.
  2. Fill your clean jug 2/3 up with water and screw on the lid. Dry off the outside of the jug completely before the next step.
  3. Using Advanced Strength, apply the jack-o-lantern face onto the side of the milk jug. Make sure the handle is to the back and not the side of the face.
  4. When night falls, crack a glow stick and add it to the inside of the luminary.

Tips:

  • Goo Gone works well at removing stickers.
  • Nail Polish Remove will take off the date that is printed directly onto the jug.
  • Use a funnel to add extra water after the jack-o-lantern face has been applied.
