With just a few materials, you can create these glowing lanterns that are both kid-friendly and mess-free.

Plus, they make for a fantastic decoration on windowsills or tabletops, giving your home a charmingly eerie glow!

 

Materials Needed

You need to prepare:

  • Empty glass jars
  • White tape or crepe paper strips
  • Googly eyes
  • LED candle
  • Glue
  • Scissors

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Jars

You can use Mason jars or any recycled jars you have lying around.

Before you begin, remove any leftover labels or sticky residue to ensure a smooth surface for wrapping.

 

Step 2: Wrap the Jar

Grab your white tape or crepe paper strips and start wrapping them around the jar.

You should leave some spaces between the strips to let the light shine through, and don’t worry about overlapping; it adds to the mummy effect.

 

Step 3: Attach the Googly Eyes

Now, stick the googly eyes on the jar, peeking out between the tape or paper strips.

If you’re using non-adhesive eyes, a small amount of glue will do the trick.

 

Step 4: Insert the LED Candle

Finally, you only need to place an LED candle inside the jar.

Since it’s battery-operated, it’s a safer alternative to real candles, especially if kids are handling the lanterns.

Tada, now you can enjoy Halloween air with your own mummy jam jar lantern!
