The one I saw had halloween fabric draped over it with styrofoam ball for the head and it looked like a little girl with a bag over her head that had a jack-o-lantern face – too cute! am looking as to how to fasten the styrofoam ball on it and all the details! Thanks!

Just stumbling onto this blog, but it’s right on time, especially with the overflow of recycling bins as a result of this sweltering heat! Makes a great toy for infants in the discovery stage. Just fill with colorful beans or buttons, secure the lid, and let them shake,rattle, and roll away!

Thanks for sharing these tips. I think many people give plastics a bad rap, but if people use your tips and find good ways to use their leftover plastics, they can serve a great purpose.

I used a thick needle. A fine drill sounds like a good idea to me though!
