DIY Puking Skeleton
Round Trash Can (Lowes or Home Depot)
Green Glow in the Dark Acrylic Paint
10′ x 3/4” Clear Flexible Tube (inner diameter needs to be 3/4″ or 1″)
Toxic Waste & Biohazard Stickers
DIY Puking Skeleton Tutorial
Drill a 1″ hole in the back of the trash can, about 1′ up from the bottom. You want it large enough to feed the tubing through.
Apply the glow in the glow-in-the-dark green paint around the top of the trash can. Lean the trash can to the side while applying the paint. When finished, allow the can to stand upright so it drip dries for 24 hours. Drip drying will give the effect in the picture.
Once the paint is dry, apply TOXIC WASTE and BIOHAZARD decals.
Place in the yard or desired spot and fill with water. Fill to just under the drilled hole.
Remove the ink sticks from 2-4 yellow highlighters (cut the marker open) and toss them into the water.
Place the submersible pump in water and feed the clear tube through the trash can. Attach one end of the tube to the submersible pump.
Bend the skeleton at the knees so it looks like the skeleton is hovering over the trash can- Puking! Zip-tie skeleton hands to the trash can handles.
Feed the end of the tube that is coming out of the back of the trash can through the skeleton from the torso up to the mouth. Zip-tie the tube to the skeleton’s spine. To make it appear as though the skeleton is throwing up, don’t feed the tube through the mouth or else it will stream out not giving it the “throwing up” effect. Point the tube upward in the mouth instead of through the mouth. Play with it until you get the desired effect- it helps to have the pump on while figuring out the placement so the water is coming out of the tube.
Secure a black light to one or both of the trash can handles and place one or two in front pointing at the trash can.
DONE!
**REMINDER**
DON’T ALLOW CHILDREN TO DRINK THE WATER AS IT CONTAINS HIGHLIGHTER INK!

Hi! I’m Meagan and I’m a 41 year old mom of a high energy almost 9 year old, happily navigating my way through the little boy years. I’ve been married for 14 years. I met my husband over 20 years ago in high school; we got married 10 years later after graduating from the University of South Florida. I currently help run a family business with my parents while blogging about my life and love of DIY projects!
When I’m not at a kids sports game, I enjoy spending time with my family on a beach anywhere. I also love decorating and organizing, fun DIY projects, bargain shopping, and eating out or in! I also love Barbecue anything and a good show or movie on Netflix.

How do you make the water on the puking skeleton
Meagan says
Add water to the trash can. The sump pump moves the water through the hoses.
