Aine, Benton and I took some empty glass containers and a bit of tissue paper and transformed it all into Halloween lanterns.
First we cut green, orange and black tissue paper into squares and rectangles. Aine and I tried to make them 1-2 inches square for easier application. While Aine finished cutting, I mixed some glue for us to use. I combined equal parts water and glue to make a modge-podge type adhesive.
We each selected our glass jar and set to work. Aine made a witch. I made a pumpkin. Benton freestyled decorating the inside and outside of his jar.

We had to wash hands a few times as the glue concoction was sticky!
We even decorated the lids.
The containers sat outside overnight to dry. The pumpkin did well with a lighted candle, but the shape of the other containers required battery operated candle-lights. They are sitting in our window sending spooky images out to all who pass.
Happy Halloweeen!!!
LOL! He paid you to clean it - love it! :-) Happy Halloweening :-)
