Each mini bottle acts as a light diffuser for an individual bulb along the string.
Step-by-Step DIY Guide
- Drill Lid Holes: Drill a 1/4-inch hole through the center of 10-12 plastic pill bottle caps.
- Paint or Wrap Bottles: Paint small 10-dram clear pill bottles white or wrap them in white tissue paper, drawing black ghost faces on each.
- Insert String Lights: Push individual LED bulbs from a battery-powered fairy light strand down through the drilled lid holes.
- Snap Caps Closed: Snap caps onto bottles so the ghosts hang suspended along the wire garland.
