Halloween Lanterns

Materials

• Mason jar

• Tissue paper

• Black cardstock

• Mod Podge

• Sponge brush

• Scissors

• Tea light candles

Directions

1. Cut  your tissue paper to fit around your jar

2. Apply a very thin layer of Mod Podge all over your jar, working quickly since it doesn’t take long for it to dry. Wrap your tissue paper around the jar, smoothing as much as possible with your hands.

3. Use scissors to snip away excess tissue around the rim, and continue to press the tissue down with your fingers.

4. While your Mod Podge is drying (for 10-15 minutes or so), work on cutting out eyes & a mouth from paper. Use Mod Podge to glue onto jar.

5.  Use sponge brush to paint on another thin layer of Mod Podge all over your jar, this time on top of the tissue paper and eyes/mouth. Allow it to dry, then screw on the ring part of the lid.

6. Add a little LED tea light candle, enjoy!
