What Can I Do With Empty Puffs Containers? Easy Ghost Craft.

Gerber Puffs seem to have the youngster snack market in a chokehold. My toddler has loved them for years. My teenage niece still loves them! That's a lot of empty puffs containers.

I love crafts, but lack patience and like to use items I have on hand. This easy craft using empty Gerber puffs containers was simple to do. While I used my ghosts as decor, there are lots of other things you can do with them.
