Halloween: DIY Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Bowling

Pumpkin: Stages of Halloween Pumpkin Being CarvedHalloween Pumpkin Bowling Game for Kids

Are you looking for a fun and easy DIY Jack-O-Lantern themed project that the kids will be sure to love? If so keep reading to see how easy it was for me to make DIY Jack-O-Lantern Bowling Pins by upcycling empty soda bottles. Gather up a few simple materials and get started creating Jack-O-Lantern themed bowling pins that are sure to be the hit of your next Halloween party!

SUPPLIES

10 empty soda bottles with lids (I used 2 liter bottles but you could also use smaller sized bottles)
Orange Spray Paint
Black Permanent Markers
Goo Gone
Clean rag or towel
Newspaper

TUTORIAL

Step 1: Collect empty soda bottles – once you have ten you are ready to move on to the next step.

Step 2: Peel the labels off the bottles. Use a cleaning spray or something like Goo Gone on the adhesive residue that is left. Tip: Remove as much of the plastic wrapper as possible prior to attempting to remove the adhesive residue.

Step 3: Open the bottles and add a few inches of water to weigh the bottles down. Dry the bottles thoroughly.

Step 4: Prepare a spot outside to spray paint the bottles (I laid out old newspaper) – make sure it is not a windy day as spray paint travels. Completely spray paint all of the bottles and caps while they are standing up. Allow to dry thoroughly. Apply a second coat or paint f needed.

Step 5: Draw on jack-o-lantern faces with black permanent marker (this is a great step to get the kids involved).

Step 6: Set the “pins” up in a triangle shape (4, 3, 2, 1). Find a ball and start bowling. Tip: Adding and removing water will increase or decrease the level of difficulty.

This project took me less than day to complete from start to finish. The bulk of the time was spent waiting for the paint to dry completely.
