I have made a skeleton out of milk cartons many years ago and have forgotten how. Does anyone have the pattern?

RE: Milk Jug Skeleton Instructions

(Submitted via email) I have seen this project done in a classroom before and it was awesome. I am teaching a recycling class this summer with elementary age students and really want to do this project. All I need are the instructions and this is the only site I have found that would provide them. It is greatly appreciated.

Looking for a pattern to make a skeleton out of gallon milk jug containers. Free hanging and takes at least 4-5 of the containers.

Here are some links with instructions:

Watch out for this link because it has some scary screaming but good instructions:

RE: Milk Jug Skeleton Instructions?

I am frustrated that when ever I search for something informative (I rarely look here for shopping) I get a list of places and when I choose what appears to look like a site that will have my answer, I get a shopping page or another page of site choices.

I saw a skeleton made out of plastic gallon milk jugs. The skull was one jug, the ribs were from another jug, the pelvis from one and then the arms and legs were made out of strips cut from other jugs. Just wondering if any one knows how to do this. It was very cute!

I am saving jugs for this now.I am going to spray with glow in the dark paint, hang from the trees out back and turn on a blacklight! I think it will be eerie! (09/13/2004)

RE: Plastic Milk Jug Skeleton

Crafting Instructions to make Mr. Bones Halloween Skeleton Decoration (thanks to http://prairiewebs.com/skeleton.html) MATERIALS: 8 - 9 clean plastic gallon milk jugs, String, Scissors & craft knife, Glue gun (for the adults to use), One-hole punch

SKELETON HEAD Turn a milk jug upside down In the corner opposite the handle cut out a large pair of eyes, the mouth and two holes for the nostrils.

Make two small slits in the top of the head and tie a loop of string through them to hang the finished skeleton.

SKELETON CHEST Slice down the centre of a jug - opposite the handle. Cut the plastic to make a rib cage. Glue the head and chest together with hot glue.

SKELETON SHOULDERS Cut off two jug handles leaving a small collar on each end. Use hot glue to attach them to the chest section. Punch a hole at the outside end of each shoulder.

SKELETON WAIST Cut out two spouts, leaving a 1/2 inch collar on each. Hot glue the spouts together. Glue to the bottom of the chest.

SKELETON HIPS Use the bottom 4 1/2 inches of a jug. Cut into a pelvic shape. Glue to the bottom of the waist.

SKELETON ARMS & LEGS Cut the bone shapes from the jugs. Tie to the shoulders and hips.

SKELETON HANDS & FEET Trace the kid's hands and feet. Cut these shapes out of the jugs. Punch holes into the hands and feet and tie them onto the arms and legs.

For a greater effect you can paint Mr. Bones a neon color or with "glow in dark" paint so that he will glow as he greets your Halloween guests. (09/13/2004)
