Jack-o'-lantern Candle Holders

Grace made these jack-o'-lantern candle holders this morning using orange tissue paper, liquid starch, and baby food jars! First thing this morning Grace painted a sheet of white tissue paper with orange paint. Once the tissue paper dried Grace cut the paper into tiny pieces. Next, Grace painted the baby food jars using liquid starch and she added the small pieces of orange tissue paper onto the jars until the they were fully covered. Once the jars dried I drew two happy jack-o'-lantern faces. We will add tea lights to the jars tomorrow to glow Halloween night. I'll be sure to post pictures!

I love these jack-o'-lanterns, Grace!
What amazing ideas, projects and activities you and Mommy come up with. I cannot believe it!
There is nothing I enjoy more these days than watching you and Jack enjoying every little moment of life.
I cannot wait to hear what it was like to see your Jack-o'-lanterns all aglow.
Love You So Much,
Maddy

How clever is this! Grace, your candle holders are beautiful! And, when they are lit, they will be spectacular.

Rebecca, the faces are the finishing touches to another clever craft project.
