This year I am in ready for Halloween early and I decided to create a fun BOO kit by upcycling a large plastic coffee container and making it into a Jack-O-Lantern that I could fill with awesome treats! I just happened to have an almost empty coffee container in the cupboard so I washed it out, dried it and got to work. It only took a few hours once everything dried and it’s now ready to be delivered!
