We had a bit of a celebration to usher in the new Football season last weekend. Food, Food, family time and more FOOD! We all piled on the sofa for some Giants Football viewing to kick off the new season and we had a blast!
After it was over we had a few empty Pepsi and Dr. Pepper bottles that I decided to upcycle into some cute Halloween craft projects for the kids. We made this Witch Windsock with an upcycled soda bottle, a Bounty paper towel, Duck Tape and a few other simple supplies (that you most likely already have around the house). We also made a super simple upcycled ghost windsock (perfect Halloween project for the younger kiddo's).
Check out our upcycled Duck Tape Witch & Ghost Windsock tutorials + supply lists below:

- Empty Soda Bottle (cut the bottom of the bottle off + cut one of the points off of the bottom/base of the bottle and affix to the front of the bottle with green Duct Tape to create the nose . Use the other remaining strip of bottle that you cut off to create a cone for the top of your Witches "hat" - refer to images below.
- Plastic party table cover (we found ours at Walmart for $1) in your choice of color (we used pink so it looks like a continuation of the Witches "hair".

Repeat process for each piece of "hair".
