Instructions

Small Halloween candy tubs are easy to turn into playful hanging monsters with just a few basic craft supplies. This simple upcycled Halloween project uses serviettes to create flowing monster bodies underneath the plastic heads, giving them a fun floating effect when hung from a doorway, tree or ceiling.

You can make Frankenstein monsters, ghosts, vampires or any other Halloween character you can find. They look especially effective grouped together at different heights, and because the project is quick and inexpensive, it works well for classrooms, Halloween parties and kids craft sessions.

You can hang it empty, with a tea light or even fill it with candy and create a candy tree where the kids can come along and grab one off.

This project uses small 3 inch containers but you could use any size, just increase the size of your napkin piece (square).

Simply open up your serviette and glue it to the bottom of the head to create a swaying scary hanging dress for your monster head.
