These were a ton of fun!! I found how to make these cute things at www.heartlandpaper.typepap.com
CRAFT MATERIALS:
Glass votive holders
Black construction paper
Hole punch
Mod Podge
Paintbrush
Black paint
Time needed: Under 1 Hour
1. Tear a sheet of black construction paper into about a dozen small rectangles that measure roughly 1¼ inch by ½ inch. Use a hole punch to add two eyes to each piece.
2. Brush a portion of a plain, glass votive holder with Mod Podge, affix a paper rectangle, then paint more Mod Podge over it. Add the other pieces the same way, making sure the edges overlap.
3. When the candleholder is dry, use a tiny paintbrush and black paint to add little round pupils inside the eyes.
During the rainy week we had I put these cute things together. If you want to make some of your own go to this site and download the template :) Have fun and Happy Halloween!!
