BOO!!

4 Materials

Are you looking for a scary halloween decoration? You only need 4 items for this one! So easy, your kids can do it!
First you need a empty, cleaned out 2 liter soda bottle. Remove the wrappings

boo , halloween decorations, seasonal holiday decor

Next get some heavy wire…it has to be strong enough to hold up light material. You will need about 1 1/2′. fold lightly in half and stick in bottle about 2 inches. Bring the wire out to each side…

Now you will need a head…you can use a round Styrofoam ball or I used a large Easter Egg and painted it white. Next with a black marker, you draw a scary face. I drew the eyes like big apostrophes. Then a upside down V and a mouth…..I then hot glued it to the top of bottle.

Then I took some really thin material/or cheesecloth, and laid it over the whole thing….this is what I ended up with…

BOO!!!! I forgot to mention...I put some of those small stones you get at the dollar store inside the bottle for weight. You can add sand, or anything else that will fit through the neck of the bottle.

Did you weight the bottle, maybe with sand?

You could also soak the cloth in heavy starch or Modge Podge and when it dries, it will sort of "float" on the bottle.
