Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Rinse and dry the plastic bottle thoroughly.
  • Remove any labels to ensure a clean, smooth surface for painting.

Painting

  • Using black paint, coat the exterior of the bottle evenly.
  • Allow it to dry completely. Consider using a thin brush for more detailed areas.

Creating the Face

  • Once dry, take your black marker and draw a spooky face on the bottle.
  • Feel free to get creative with different expressions!

Adding Features

  • Cut tissue paper or use cotton balls, gluing them at the neck of the bottle to create a ghostly effect.
  • Fluff and shape them for added dimension.

Illuminating

  • Place an LED tea light inside the bottle. Ensure the light fits comfortably and is safely secured.
  • Turn it on and see the glow through the dark bottle!

Notes

Tips: Swap out the black paint for glow-in-the-dark paint for a more eerie effect at night. Experiment with different textures by using fabrics instead of tissue paper. Add some fun accessories like googly eyes or hats to give your Ghost Rocket a personality!
