Halloween Lanterns

The kids are pumped about Halloween being just around the corner, however Cooper keeps calling it Christmas even though he clearly knows it's Halloween! We have some crafts in mind but we started with Halloween Lanterns and they were super easy and fun. Here is How we did it... 

Get some glass jars out of your recycling stash. We have a bunch. I always save them because I can always find use for them. 

 Shred tissue paper. Whatever colors you wish, we were going for mummies and pumpkins so we went with orange and white.

 Get some eyes from the craft store.

 Pour school glue with a splash of water into a bowl and mix.

 Grab some paint brushes.

 Paint the glass jars with the glue and water mixture and then press on the strips of paper.

 Glue on the eyes. Sit back and admire your handy work.

We plan to get some tea lights and put them in to light them up. Pretty cute, huh?
