Easy Halloween Craft: Luminaries for the Kids



here is another EASY halloween craft that is super fun for the kids (and messy!)


you will need the following
(see photo above)
orange/white tissue paper
(or get green and make some Frankenstein luminaries)
mod podge
glass jars/cloches
paint brush
scissors
black cardstock
tea light candle/battery operated candle
( i recommend battery operated...it's safer)



cut tissue paper into 2 inch strips.
if you are using larger glass make them thicker.
for small glass make then thinner. (duh.)



i let M try to cut.
he couldn't do it without his tongue hanging out.
or his left hand becoming an imaginary pair of scissors too! :)



don't cut your mama M!


coat your glass with mod podge.



layer your glass with tissue paper.
use mod podge between each layer.
i did 3 for this project.



M is still working hard!


you might like to do your luminaries a different way...
but i do mine upside down. i dont like the tops to look messy.
before the top coat of mod podge dries cut out eyes & mouth with the cardstock.
position them onto the top and coat again.


let them dry for about 2 hours.


insert candle.
enjoy!

i would call this my mini table scape...but it is on top of my deep freezer...
so here is my halloween freezer-scape....
which was relocated after the crafting photo shoot!
happy halloween!
