Halloween Glass Jar Glow Lanterns
Materials Needed:
- Glass jars (yogurt, peanut butter or other)
- Tissue paper in assorted colors
- Scissors
- Mod Podge or School glue
- Foam brush
- Candle or lights (battery tea lights are perfect for kids’ rooms)
- Opt. Paper punches
Process:
ADULTS
- Pour Mod Podge or School glue in small cup and add small amount of water, then mix. (Mod Podge or glue used at regular strength will cause tissue paper to tear.)
KIDS
- Clean jar inside and out
- Cut or tear shapes from tissue paper
- Apply thin layer of Mod Podge to jar surface using foam brush
- Place tissue paper shapes on jar & brush over top with Mod Podge then let dry (Hint: Less is More! If tissue paper gets too wet, color will bleed and paper will tear.)
- Halloween glow lanterns make boo-tiful gifts 😮
Cloud 9 Kid Connection:
Tissue paper comes in bright colors and can be picked up inexpensively or saved from parties. Kids love experimenting with new gadgets. MAKER TIP: If you’re using a paper punch, try layering the tissue paper between two sheets of regular copy paper to get a clean punch.
