How To Make A Tide Container Ghost

This Tide container ghost is so much fun to make as an easy Halloween decoration. You can make a whole ghost family if you have time. Kids love to make decorations and it helps with fine motor skills. Add in the pride they feel whenever they see them displayed and this craft is a winner in my book.

Directions To Make Tide Container Ghost

  1. Remove the label from the laundry pods container by soaking in hot water, scraping, and then using GooGone to remove completely. You can also use a heat gun to warm the label but the ease of this option varies based on the brand. For instance, I found using a heat gun to be easy on Gain containers but difficult on Tide containers.
  2. Remove the top from the container and discard.
  3. Print template and cut.
  4. Apply the template to the side of the container.
