Recycled Laundry Pods Container Ghost
"Learn how to make a Ghost out of a Recycled Laundry Pods Container. This is such a fun recycled craft project just in time for Halloween! I can’t lie, Halloween is not one of my favorite holidays, but my kids absolutely love it! That is why I humor them with fun Halloween craft project ideas. The other day I was doing laundry (another thing I don’t love), and I was about ready to throw out my All Pod container when I had a fun project idea with the kids to make recycled laundry pod container ghosts. Let me tell you, the kids absolutely loved these! Since then, they have made all kinds of fun Halloween designs to decorate around the yard! I know your kids will love this project too! "
Materials List
- 1 empty Tide laundry pods container or other Brand
- Ghost template
- Printer paper OR 8.5×11 blank adhesive label OR black adhesive vinyl
- Liquid glue (if not using adhesive)
- Scissors (if not using a cutting machine)
Instructions
-
Remove the label from the laundry pods container by soaking it in hot water, scraping, and then using GooGone to remove it completely. You can also use a heat gun to warm the label but the ease of this option varies based on the brand. For instance, I found using a heat gun to be easy on Gain containers but difficult on Tide containers.
-
Remove the top from the container and discard.
-
Print template and cut.
-
Apply the template to the side of the container.
