Milk Bottle Ghosts

Okay, so Halloween was yesterday, October is finished (and so is Crafty October!) But I still have a few more things to share with you! I’ve got lots of photos to go through so please bear with me!

I had saved a lot of milk bottles to make Milk Bottle Ghosts to put outside on Halloween night…

The kids that came round trick or treating loved them (so much so that a couple have gone missing lol)

I washed out the [plastic] milk bottles, drew faces on the front with a black marker pen, filled with some pea shingle to weight them down, and dropped in some glow sticks! They were so easy and cheap to make! Going to definitely do this again next year! Might even turn more milk bottles into snowmen for Christmas!

This post is part of my long-running Crafty October series on The Purple Pumpkin Blog. Since 2012, I’ve shared Halloween recipes, printables, and crafts every October. While I don’t officially run the series anymore, all my new Halloween posts are still part of this decades-long celebration of spooky fun!
