Spooky Eye Candles






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.

Eyes


3. When the candleholder is dry, use a tiny paintbrush and black paint to add little round pupils inside the eyes.

5. Put it all together with a cute brad.
6. Use pop dots to adhere to plate.


Other Embellishments:
Use orange jewels and put them around the border of the plate and last but not least adhere the jeweled wording to your photo. I found mine at Heartland Scrapbooking store in Ladera Ranch, CA.
