Description: Easy Halloween candle craft for kids.

This project is perfect for the artistically challenged or those who
prefer instant gratification. My young sons completed theirs in just
15 minutes.
Supplies:
Glass Votive (any size or shape)
Solid Black Halloween Stickers (bats, witches, ghosts, etc.)
-OR-
Stencils, Stamps, and Black Acrylic Paint
Orange Tissue Paper, Torn Into Pieces
2 TBSP White Glue
2 TBSP Water
Craft Brush
Directions:
1. Adhere stickers onto the outside of the votive –OR- If using
stencils or stamps, paint heavily enough that no light shines through
the shapes. Let dry completely.
2. Mix glue and water. Paint glue onto the outside of glass, on top
of the stickers.
3. While the glue is wet, layer pieces of tissue paper and glue
until the entire votive is covered and the tissue is saturated.
4. Turn the votive upside down to dry (a hairdryer speeds up the
process).
5. Once dry, add a tea light and let the glow from these festive
candles welcome the neighborhood spooks.
