Arisha's Inspiration Corner
A little blog to share crafts, recipes and ideas with you x
My kids and I had a great time making these lanterns! It is a little bit of a sticky craft, but lots of fun! These look fantastic ranged around your pumpkin lantern, or as a centre piece for your table.
WHAT YOU NEED: - some clean jam jars with labels taken off - orange tissue paper - dark coloured paper - PVA glue - candle nightlights or battery powered nightlights WHAT TO DO: - Draw spooky Halloween shapes on your dark paper , make sure they are the right size for your jars - Cut out said shapes - lather PVA glue all over your jar - Stick the dark shapes onto the jars, then put more glue over the tops of them too - Cut strips of orange tissue paper to fit around the jars - Carefully wrap the tissue paper round the jars, smoothing gently as you go. - Add more glue to stick the end piece onto itself - Finally paint another layer of glue over the entire jar to act as a kind of varnish - Allow time to dry, then place a nightlight inside each jar and enjoy the beautiful warm glow these lanterns give! - Happy Halloween!
