This document provides instructions for three DIY eco-friendly Halloween decorations: 1) A toilet paper mummy made from empty toilet paper rolls and wrapped in leftover toilet paper. 2) A ghost made from an empty milk carton by cleaning it out and attaching a black construction paper face with eyes and a mouth. An LED candle is placed inside to light it up. 3) Tissue box monsters made from empty tissue boxes that are spray painted and decorated with googly eyes, teeth cut from foam, and features glued on.
