These Halloween lanterns are such a great idea and so easy to make. They can be used to decorate your home and look fab sat in the window. I have made a white ghost and an orange pumpkin but why not try a green monster or a black bat (you could also add some wings).
Clear Plastic Disposable Cup
Coloured Tissue Paper
Black Paper or Thin Card
PVA Glue
Marker Pen
Electric Tealight (Do not use real candle!)
Optional:
Glue Gun
Scissors
Thick Card
Cover your plastic cup with glue and stick on your tissue paper. Brush over extra glue to ensure that the tissue paper won’t peel off. Next take the black paper and cut out eyes or other details and stick onto the cup.
Once dry you can stick over an electric candle for a very spooky effect. Or if you would like to make a base; draw on the thick card around the cup and cut out circle. Fold in half and cut out a small rectangle so that you can turn the switch on and off.
With a glue gun glue the electric candle onto the card. When dry glue the cup onto the card, and then you’re done.
Have Fun!
