# DIY Ghostly Jug Decorations The 'Disney Family Fun' Spirit Lanterns are Great for Halloween By Sarah Nazim | Published 2012-08-13 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-family-fun-spirit-lanterns References: [familyfun.go](http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/spirit-jugs-673388/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/FamilyFun) The '[Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drinks-cooler) Family Fun' spirit lanterns are a simple and affordable way to create [glowing decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merry-sparkles-outdoor-decor). This project is ideal for [Halloween celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michaels-alices-adventures-collection), but can ultimately be customized for any occasion, as it is incredibly versatile. The only materials needed to put these together include recycled plastic milk or juice containers, a permanent marker, a craft knife and some low wattage holiday lights. You simply draw on a face, and then cut out a small hole at the back of the jug in order to insert the lights. This Disney Family Fun project is a cost-efficient way to spruce up any holiday occasion, instead of spending ample amounts of money on expensive decorations. Finding creative ways to recycle materials is a great way to help save the environment as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upcycling Decorations:** Creating decorations from recycled materials offers an opportunity for innovative and sustainable design solutions. - **Affordable DIY Decor:** The trend of creating affordable decorations encourages creativity and resourcefulness, opening up new markets for DIY products and services. - **Customizable Seasonal Crafts:** The demand for customizable crafts provides an opportunity for companies to offer personalized DIY kits for various occasions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Craft and Hobby:** The craft and hobby industry can capitalize on the upcycling trend by offering materials and tools specifically designed for DIY decorations. - **Sustainable Home Decor:** The sustainable home decor industry can develop innovative products by repurposing materials and promoting eco-friendly practices. - **DIY Online Platforms:** Online platforms dedicated to DIY projects can tap into the demand for customizable crafts and provide inspiration, tutorials, and resources to users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Halloween-Themed Alcohol Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloweenthemed-alcohol-bottles-bacardis-limited-edition-bottle-will-light-.md) - [Halloween Flick-Inspired Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drinks-cooler.md) - [Dressed-Up Bourbon Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customized-whiskey.md) - [Product-Inspired Halloween Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx.md) - [Christmas Decoration Spirit Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renais-festive-lantern-edition.md) - [Seasonal Jack-O-Lantern Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-potion-liqueur.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Rum Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-skeleton-bottle.md) - [Halloween QSR Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-qsr-drinkware.md) - [Spooky Interior Décors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-lamps.md)
