Frankenstein Decorations for Halloween

Let's recycle some clear water gallon containers to create these cute Frankensteins! :)
I don't usually decorate that much for Halloween, not that I don't like it; I enjoy this holiday as much as any of the other ones. Changing things around the house is always fun, but I have to stay away from scary stuff for Halloween. 

Skeletons, ugly witches, spiders, and spooky decorations are all banned inside the house because my kids and husband cannot sleep well at night having those objects around. 

So, following the rules, I set to work on creating these Frankensteins; they are not going inside, and they are not spooky at all.

The materials you'll need

• Clear water gallons 
• Green, black, and silver spray paint
• Black Sharpie
• Bottle corks
• One sheet of legal size paper
• String of lights
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun

This is how they came to life :)

Very lightly spray paint the water gallons green. Any green paint would do.

Using a legal size sheet of paper, cut a "hairline," triangle shapes on one side, as shown:

Place it over the gallon. With one hand, hold the paper and spray paint the black hair with the other.

Look at those manes. :D

A bottle cork is cut in half to create Frankenstein's neck bolts, which are then given a coat of silver spray paint. 

The gallon tops are used as Frankenstein's ears, which are hot-glued in place.

Using a black Sharpie, draw their faces.

They look silly, but oh well.

With the lights on, they transform our front steps and...

Welcome our guests to... The House of Frankenstein!! Bwaahahahhah

No, I don't think they will scare any kid away, don't you agree?
