It doesn’t have to break the bank to decorate your house for Halloween. Roll up your sleeves, pull out the glue gun, and have fun with the kids while making all of these crafty projects with materials from your recycling bin.
Milk Carton Lanterns
Materials:
large milk bottles made of plastic
Sharpie Glow Sticks in black
Method:
Step One: Clean your bottles
Wash bottles with warm soapy water and remove any labels.
Step Two: Draw your face
Draw eyes and a mouth with a sharpie on each of the bottles. Make certain to make them large!
3. Include the glow sticks.
Before breaking the glow sticks and dropping them inside your milk bottle, wait until it is almost dark. The bottle’s lid should be replaced.
Toilet Roll Monsters
Materials:
Toilet rolls
Paint
Black Sharpie
Scissors
Pipe cleaners
Pom Pom balls
Craft glue
Method:
First, apply the basic colour.
Your toilet paper roll should be completely painted in one colour (you can add details afterwards). Allow to dry.
Step 2: Trim your toilet paper.
Cut your toilet paper roll to the desired height or add some hair! Additionally, this is the perfect time to make any holes for your pipe cleaner.
Step 3: Include a face
Create a face for your monster with pipe cleaners and Pom Pom balls. To attach them to the toilet paper roll, add glue. Get as wacky as inventive as you can!
Step Four: The specifics are now.
To complete the appearance, embellish the surface of your toilet paper rolls with paint or a Sharpie. You now possess some ridiculous toilet paper monsters!
Recycled Ghosts

Old white fabric
Fabric Scissors
Black string

First, cut your fabric.
Your fabric should be cut into thick squares.
Step 2: Build the body

Step 3: Include a face
After giving your ghost eyes with a Sharpie, it is ready to go.
