eighteen25: Today's Project: Spirit Jugs
Spirit Jugs
what you'll need:
- clean gallon milk jugs
- black permanent marker
- craft knife
- string of clear low-wattage christmas lights
step one: draw some spooky faces on your milk jugs.
step two: let your kids color in the faces while you bake a batch of cookies.
step three: using the craft knife (mom), cut a hole in the lower backside of the jug. about the size of a half dollar (or maybe a little bigger since i couldn't picture a half dollar).
step four: line all of your ghosts up and stuff several lights in each one.
step five: place your group of glowing spirit jugs along your walkway or front porch to welcome those cute little holiday guests.

Break open a glow stick, dump it in a jar, shake it up and you have an instant glow stick lantern! I'm thinking Halloween on the patio.
Yummy spider webs.
Simply Creative Insanity: Tricks and Treats
Witch's Curtain - Martha Stewart Crafts
Listen well, my pretties. If your home inspires anything short of sheer horror, you must shroud your entrance in darkness: strips of torn plastic to twist in the wind.
Lay a heavy-duty black garbage bag flat on a work surface, open end toward you. With scissors, cut 1 1/2-inch vertical strips from the bottom, stopping a few inches from the top. Cut open one side seam, then unfold bag. Use masking tape or tacks to hang. Then, with hands a few inches apart, grasp each strand and pull; stretch strands in several places for a decrepit effect.
