How-To: Milk Jug Skeleton

Last weekend, I dropped my daughter off at a Girl Scout meeting and spied this awesome milk jug skeleton on the front porch of her troop leader’s house (pictured above – thanks, Kate!). It was adorable, and something that seemed like it would be a fun, long-lasting project to make with my kids. I came home and did some searching and found a few versions online. This tutorial from The Party Animal, which includes pattern pieces, seemed to be one of the best versions I found. The next day, another friend randomly shared a picture of her friend’s milk jug skeleton on my Facebook page, and I knew this was no accident. I must make one immediately.
