When an internal cool-white or amber LED tea light is turned on, the entire white tissue shroud illuminates evenly, casting a soft, ghostly halo.

Step-by-Step DIY Guide

  1. Prep the Bottle: Wash and thoroughly dry a standard pill bottle.
  2. Drape Tissue Paper: Cut a 10×10 inch square of white tissue paper or cheesecloth. Center it over the cap of the bottle and let it drape naturally down the sides.
  3. Secure at Neck: Tie a thin piece of white string or ribbon around the bottle neck to hold the paper shroud in place.
  4. Draw Ghost Face: Use a black permanent marker to draw classic oval “O” eyes and a gasping mouth on the front face.
  5. Insert LED: Drop a battery-operated LED tea light into the bottle base and snap the cap closed underneath the tissue layer.
