A few years ago, I saw this craft on Skip to my Lou. I loved the simplicity — it was something even I could do to make our house a little more festive. All you need are some small jars or glasses, votive or tea light candles, orange streamers, black construction paper, and some kind of adhesive (I used Mod Podge).
First, cut out some shapes to make faces out of black construction paper; eyes, noses, mouths (and accessories, if you are so inclined). Apply a thin layer of glue on the outside of the jars, wrap streamer paper all around, then paste the faces on.

Hey there! Coming at ya from Mama Kat's.
ReplyDeleteI used to make these every year... only difference is that I painted them orange and let the kids paint on the faces.
I also have painted a jar all black and added glow in the dark stick on stars. When you put a tealight inside it looks like the night sky on your table or porch stoop!
Enjoyed my visit!
I love the idea of the black jar with glow in the dark stickers! I might have to add that to the collection this year. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
