Silhouette Candle Holder

What You Need: 

• Recycled glass jar 
• Tempera paint (orange) 
• Printout or photo copy of a scary image (no taller than the jar) 
• Scissors or craft knife (with parental supervision) 
• Cutting mat 
• Glue stick
• Water 
• Tea light

What You Do: 

1. Choose an image for your candle! We drew our own skull and crossbones, but there are a varity options among our Halloween worksheets:
   Monster Eyes
   Halloween Luminaries Shapes
   Creepy Cut-Outs
   If you don't have access to a printer, or copy machine, have your child use black paint to paint a silhouette image on the outside of the jar.
2. Paint the outside of the jar until it's completely covered in orange paint. Set it aside to dry completely. 
3. Use scissors or a craft knife and cutting mat to carefully cut out your chosen motif. Work slowly to carefully and safely cut out the silhouette.
4. Apply glue to the back of the cut-out. Delicately adhere it to the outside of the painted jar.  
5. Repeat this process to create spooky images all around the jar, so it's completely wrapped in silhouettes.
6. Fll the jar halfway with water. Then float a tea light in the water for a shimmery, mess-free effect.
