Halloween Decoupage Lanterns

Posted by Robin M.

About

Choose jars in various sizes (I used baby food jars and a spagetti sauce jar). Brush a coat of decoupage glue and sealant, such as Mod Podge (available at craft stores), all over the jar. Then cover the entire jar, including the neck and bottom, with a layer of tissue paper.

For the pumpkin jar, \cut the tissue paper into strips and lay them vertically over the jar. Slather the tissue paper with another layer of Mod Podge.

Wrap a decorative ribbon around the neck (optional).

You can print out faces or do what I did and just cut out small pieces of black construction paper.

Place a tealight candle inside, light it, and TAH-DAH! :)
