Materials:

Milk style jug (no matter the size)

Sharpie or gel pen
Wire or String

Step 1 Cleaning

First, grab your jugs and clean them good.

Be sure to take the labels off.

Then set to dry.

Be sure to keep the cap, or else your Jack-o-lantern will not have a top.

hard to see the eyes is it possible to add in a second suspended light to illuminate the eyes?

[DIYJosh]

Hmmm, suspending? Probably not. But you can try placing something under the tea lights to raise it up. Or try votive candle. You might also want to try two tealights as well.

yeah but i can 't put something under the suspended one if it will block the grounded one

What kind of paint did you use?

[DIYJosh]

For the black undercoat I used a very cheap Walmart brand. For the actual painting of orange I used Krylon "Pumkin" Orange.
