Halloween Crafts: Soda Bottle Ghosts

Halloween is coming and it is time to break out our Halloween Crafts. This week we are highlighting a frugal ghost craft which recycles an old soda pop bottle. Thank you Momondealz for sharing!

Soda Bottle Halloween Ghosts

Materials:
Soda Bottles (2 liter)
Sharp Scissors
White Tissue Paper
Black Construction Paper
Mod Podge

Directions:
1. Clean and dry a 2 liter soda bottle.
2. Cut the top off with a sharp knife or scissors (obviously the adult does this part).

3. Cover the bottom and part of the sides with Mod Podge. Try to not go past the half-way point because it will make the ghost look less “flowy”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Lay one sheet of white tissue paper on top of the covered bottle.

5. Using the black construction paper, create ghost eyes andes mouths and add to your ghost.

Be sure to see what printable coupons there are for products you use that can be upcycled into fun craft projects. T
