Halloween Milk Jug Luminaries

By Laurie Corbett, Publisher Mom, South Shore Boston October 29, 2015
Halloween snuck up on us this year and I couldn't find the decorations. So, with a few empty milk jugs, a marker and some glow sticks we made our own! 

What You'll Need

Empty Plastic Milk/Water Jugs
Black Permanent Marker

Glow Sticks - we used the bracelet kind and found a pack of 10 for $1 at Target


What You'll Do

1) Rinse out the milk jugs and let dry.

2) Use a black permanent marker to draw ghosts, jack-o-lantern, Frankenstein and monster faces on your milk jugs. 

3) When ready to use activate glow sticks and place inside each jug. We used 6 of the bracelet type but you can use more or less to get the effect you are looking for. 

4) Place outside and enjoy!

Tips

It is easier to draw on some brands of milk/water jugs than others. 

Black markers work the best, but other colors are okay too! Use what you have. 

We used the color of the glow sticks we had help us decide what we wanted to make. Creativity rules here - just have fun!
