Spooky Lanterns: Quick Halloween Projects
Halloween is my favorite holiday to craft and decorate for! I love quick projects that help me get my home in the Halloween spirit. These three spooky lanterns are a quick and easy Halloween decorating project.
Supplies Used to make Spooky Lanterns:
- Various sized lanterns
- Clear printable sticker paper from OnlineLabels.com
- Vellum paper
- Small decorative skulls
- Candle holder
- Decorative bird cage
- Spray Paint
- Battery operated tea lights
Print the ghostly figures onto transparent sticker paper. Measure the size of the lantern glass, and trace the dimensions onto white vellum paper.
Peel the ghostly figure stickers off the paper backing, and attach the ghosts to the vellum. Cut out the vellum rectangles, and slip the papers behind the glass of the lantern. Use a battery operated tea light to create a spooky, flickering glow behind the ghostly figures.
This lantern is so simple to make and yet it creates quite a creepy effect! You’ll need to find a lantern that has a removable top portion instead of a base that opens up.
This lantern really looks creepy when the room gets dark! Visit my site to download the FREE printable to use for this project. The link to my printable is at the bottom of this post.
These lanterns pair nicely with my DIY Halloween jars, too! Have fun crafting and creating spooky decor this season!
