Jack o'Lanterns

Don't ya just love Pinterest? 

 Here's another cute, cheap and easy Halloween craft project I found there.

All I had to do was save two milk jugs and one OJ bottle in order to try out this DIY.

All materials needed were on hand so it didn't cost me a cent to make these.

Gather together scissors, paper, pencil, black felt tip pen, two empty and washed milk jugs and OJ bottle and three small battery candles.

Hubby used a craft knife and cut out the small holes in the back of the jugs to insert the battery candles.

I drew a Jack o'Lantern face for a pattern and cut out the holes. 

You can also free draw the faces directly onto the jugs.

 Then I taped the pattern to the jug and filled in the holes with a black felt tip pen.

Easy as pie and in just a few minutes I had three cute and FREE Halloween decorations.

You could easily use a string of lights inside the items instead of using battery candles.

Hubby suggested - if I planned to place them outside - to put small white stones inside the jugs to weigh them down so the wind doesn't blow them away.

I love these battery candles - they change colors from red, green, blue and yellow.

Hope I inspired you to try this easy and breezy project!
