🎃 DIY Ghost Lanterns for Camping

Here’s a simple guide to making Ghost Lanterns that you can take camping for a spooky glow around your campsite:

Supplies You’ll Need:

• Empty plastic milk jugs or large clear bottles
  
• White spray paint (optional, for an extra ghostly look)
  
• Black permanent marker or black craft paint
  
• String lights, battery-powered candles, or glow sticks (safe for camping!)
  
• Scissors or a craft knife

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Clean & Dry Jugs
   
   • Rinse out milk jugs or bottles and let them fully dry.
     
2. Make the Ghost Face
   
   • Use a permanent marker or black paint to draw spooky ghost faces — you can make them scary, silly, or cute.
     
3. Add the Light Source
   
   • Cut a small hole in the back of the jug (near the bottom) and insert string lights, a glow stick, or a battery-powered tea light.
     
   • Avoid real candles since they’re a fire hazard in plastic.
     
4. Optional: Spray Paint White
   
   • If your jug isn’t already white or foggy, lightly spray with white paint to give it a misty, ghostly effect.
     
5. Set Them Around Your Campsite
   
   • Place them along pathways, near your tent, or around the campfire circle. They’ll glow at night and look like floating little ghosts.

✨ Tip: If you bring multiple, you can line them up to create a spooky “ghost trail” leading to your campsite!
