Thank you, Nana for this amazing craft! My mom and Bear made these cute pumpkin lights (powered by solar garden lights) and I just had to share
You will need:
Paintbrushes (preferably with long handles)
Various glass jars (jelly jars, pastene jars, canning jars,
etc)
Acrylic paint – think pumpkin and fall colors: Orange, Red,
Brown, Yellow
Sticky-back Black Foam
Solar Garden Lights – Try Target, Walmart or clearance sales
at HomeDepot for cheap
Electrical Tape
Scissors
How To:
Put a dime sized blob of 1-2 colors of paint inside each jar
and let your little ones use the brushes to coat the inside of the jars. Cut out eyes, nose and mouth shapes from the
stick back foam. You can also do
spiders, shapes or anything your imagination can come up with. Stick them to the outside of the jars.
While the paint dries, remove the sticks from the solar
garden lights and use the electrical tape to put the light up parts onto the
top of each jar. Make sure you pull the
tape tight so they stay in place. If you
use mason jars, remove the lid inserts and tape the lights to the rings).
Leave them in the sun and watch them glow at night!!
If you have trouble finding solar lights use the battery operated
votive candles (Target, Walmart, craft stores and some dollar stores)
Love,
PlusPeace
