Halloween Lanterns
       
  How To Make
       
 

1. For the large lantern, cut a strip of card 20" x 8½". The small lantern is 19" x 5".

2. On the reverse of the card draw a design or use the templates to make your own individual pattern. Remember, any wording has to be written backwards so that when you turn the lantern over it reads correctly.

3. Cut out the design using a craft knife or sharp scissors.
4. Glue a strip of tissue paper over the inside of the lantern.

5. Join the lantern together with glue.

6. Stand a nightlight on a saucer and place the lantern over the top. Turn out the lights and watch those ghosties run!

SAFETY FIRST

Only use nightlights, and as with all candles, never leave a burning candle unattended.
