I wanted to share a "twist" we added to the 2 liter "Jack-o-lantern"
project for our older Junior Girls.
Turning the 2 liter bottle upside down, the girls painted the top
(outside of the bottle) and about 2 inches down ,black. we then added green tempra paint to cover the inside of the bottle. we glued on 2 empty thread spools( painted
black) towards the bottom of the bottle.
The girls added pre cut "Frankenstein" pieces to the bottle ( eyes, scar,
etc). They tied black raffia to the bottom to make a bow. These made the coolest
Frankensteins ever, and the bottom of the bottle kind of looks like a brain
anyway...LOL. Hope you share this, its a nice companion piece to the jack-o-lanturn, but for older
girls!
