Looking for ways to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle this Halloween season? Kiwi Magazine has a great article showcasing easy Halloween crafts that make festive decorations out of toilet paper rolls, milk jugs, and egg cartons. What a perfect way to not only share quality time with your kids, but also help the environment!
I also like the idea of reusing tin cans during the season. One way to use them is as a round cookie cutter … a perfect pumpkin in the making!
Second, you can use these tin cans to create lanterns with them to light a path to your front doorway this season. Here are the simple steps:
- Paint clean cans with a color and sponge a holiday decoration on the cans after they have dried.
- Fill your cans with water and freeze. Use a small hammer and nails to make a pattern or design on the cans. (The frozen water keeps the can intact during this step.)
- Set a tea light inside and a Halloween glow is cast. Or if little ones are around, use a battery operated tea light instead.
Great Halloween craft ideas here!
