Frightfully Fun Milk Jug Witch

Create a Witch Windsock Using Hiland Milk Jugs

I hope you’ve been saving your Hiland Dairy Milk gallon jugs, because fall crafting is about to get exciting! Check out this adorable witch windsock you can make with a few crafting supplies and a repurposed milk jug. It’s super cute and easy!

What You’ll Need:

• Hiland Dairy Milk jug
• Green spray paint
• Black plastic tablecloth
• Black permanent marker
• Large googly eyes
• Glue gun
• Glue sticks
• Tacky glue
• Red acrylic paint
• Paintbrush
• Scissors or craft knife
• Witch’s hat
• Clear fishing line
• Orange ribbon (optional)

Instructions:

• Rinse jug and remove label with warm soapy water. Allow to dry completely.
• Spray paint entire jug. Allow to dry completely, at least 24 hours.
• Cut several strips from the tablecloth.
  • Tip: I made my strips approximately 12 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.

• Cut off 1/2 inch of the milk jug handle at the top, near the opening. Then cut a round hole for the mouth.

• Turn the milk jug upside down and draw eyes, eyebrows and warts using a black permanent marker.

• Glue the googly eyes inside your eye shapes. Allow to try completely.
• Using a glue gun, adhere the tablecloth strips to the bottom of the milk jug to create hair. Allow to dry completely.
  • Tip: I cut the strips at varying lengths after gluing them on the milk jug to create a hairstyle for my witch.

• Paint red lips around the mouth opening. Allow to dry completely.
• Glue the witch’s hat on top of the “hair.” Allow to dry completely.
• Tie fishing line to the top of the hat.
• Hang in a tree and be the envy of the neighborhood!

Diva’s Tip

Add a few orange ribbon strips to the witch’s hair for a pop of color.
