15 Easy Halloween Milk Jug Craft Projects

There is nothing better than recycling your household trash into a fun craft that you can keep and use over and over again. These 15 Halloween Milk Jug Crafts are just that.  I have compiled 15 of my favorite ones to share with you and inspire you to think again when it comes to tossing out that Milk Jug into recycling when you can take it and create a fun decoration for your home with the kids.

So what will you need to create these? Well some Clean Empty Milk Jugs also know as Gallon Milk Containers. Then depending on which design you are going for you made need some Paints, Foam Sheets, Google Eyes, Markers and other various Craft Supplies.

Get the kids involved in creating some masterpieces of their own using their imaginations to create fun Monsters, Jack O Lanterns, Ghosts and other fun creations.
