Jack-o-Lanterns

I'm sure someone has thought of this some time before, but this time it happens that I thought of it.

So I went with it.

We used jars, orange tissue paper, craft wire, a bit of black construction paper, modge podge (you could also use a mixture of glue and water), and tea lights.
Note: If you use tea lights, you can use any kind of jars... spaghetti sauce, pickle jars, whatever. If you want to pour wax directly into the jar, then make sure you use tempered glass- such as canning jars (they're made to take the heat).

You know how this is done.

We tore up bits of tissue.

And painted on our modge podge.

We stuck it on, and painted more where we needed it.


A final coat of modge podge to seal it,

and then we cut out black pieces for the face, glued the back

and placed them on our pumpkins.


More modge podge to seal it.

We strung wire under the grooves of the jars,

and hung them up!

I plan to have a whole patch of these, hung by forked sticks for The Big Night.


Boo.
