DIY Spooky Halloween Lanterns
by Melissa
BOO! Did I scare
ya? Probably not and neither will these
kid friendly Spooky Halloween Lanterns,
but they will go easy on the budget and you can get the kids involved in
creating them! I'm sneaking into your day with
a quick tutorial on these cuties!
What you need:
Two White Paper lanterns (Dollar
store has these around Halloween)
Black & White card stock
Glue stick and glue dots
Scissors
Glitter
Gauze or gauze tape
The first lantern I made was the Batty Lantern. You can cut out bats using your card stock (kids can do this part if they are allowed
to use scissors) or if you have a die cutter or Silhouette machine that
makes it even easier. After that I put
some glue on the wings and glittered those wings right up!
Then I used my glue dots and stuck the wings to the lantern (I used the easy to remove dots so I can
reuse my lantern for other events). Easy as 1 -2 -3! They are fun and so easy to decorate your
table with. They don’t have to be hung.
You can put them on a candle holder or even just right onto the table. If you
have a tea light that is battery operated (please
no real fire candles around these paper lanterns) you can put those inside
and they will even add more of a spookiness to your table!
My next project was even easier if you can believe that. All
I did is have the kids cut out a set of eyes and glitter those up.
Then I wrapped some gauze tape around my
white lantern a few times. Used glue dots to glue on the eyes and there you
have it – Mummy Lantern!
BONUS TIP: IF you can’t find or don’t have white paper
lanterns at home you can always use a white balloon!

Here’s hoping your Halloween is safe and spooky! Until next time – Party On Friends!
