Upcycle Milk Cartons ~ Halloween Decor

Don't forget to stop by and Like my Facebook Page! DIY Vintage Chic.

Save your milk cartons! They can be turned into great Halloween decor!
Materials:
Milk Cartons
Scrapbook Paper
Orange Paint or Paper

Collect your cartons for the number of letters in your word.

Cut the cartons down to the size you need. The width of the cartons are 3 3/4 inches wide so for both 'o's I made them 3 3/4 inches tall. For the 'b' I doubled half the height of the width to make it 5 5/8 inches {follow that?}.

Now wrap your cartons up much like you would a gift. You may need two pieces of paper per carton depending on the size.

Now trace your letters {or design} on to your cartons

You're ready to paint! {If you would rather not spend the time painting you can always cut the letters out of orange paper and paste them onto your cartons.}

I'm thinking about adding some glow in the dark paint!

I also added in some pumpkin faces on the side boxes.

Have fun making your own!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
