Halloween Candle Jars!
These candle jars are simple and great fun to make, and a very effective
Halloween decoration. But an adult will need to supervise everything to do
with the candle - including, of course, lighting it!
You will need:
Jars of all shapes and sizes and appropriate candles to fit them
Tissue paper - orange, white, purple or black
Black construction paper
Glue
Scissors
Instructions follow...
Instructions:
You can get very creative making your
Halloween candle jars, and we are sure you will come up with many
different ideas. Basically you wrap the jar in a piece of tissue paper,
insert the candle and light it! You create the effect you want either by
cutting out pieces of the tissue paper, or by sticking extra pieces of
paper on.
Choose a design:
Our Halloween templates may be
useful to help you cut out your shapes.
Pumpkin face - use orange tissue paper and cut out a lantern face before
wrapping around the jar. Our Halloween templates include a lantern face
which you can use for inspiration.
Spider web - use white tissue paper, having first drawn a spider web onto it with
black felt tip pen. You could attach a small plastic spider into the
middle of the web for a 3D effect.
Bats - again use white tissue paper. Cut a number of small bat shapes
out of black construction paper and glue them to the tissue paper
randomly.
Witch - use purple tissue paper. Stick on a selection of silver stars and add, towards the bottom of the
jar, a black cat cut out of black construction paper.
We are sure you can think of more ideas!
