How to Make a Halloween lantern Filled with Eyeballs

Supplies Needed

• Plastic Mason Jars
• Green Creepy Cloth
• Plastic Eyeballs
• LED Votive Candle
• Scissors
• Hot Glue
• Double-sided tape

Directions To Make Halloween Eyeball Lantern

Step 1

Start by taking off the lid to plastic jar and filling it with plastic eyeballs. Pack them tightly so that they don’t move around freely in the jar.

Step 2

Now, use some double-sided tape to attach the votive candle to the underside of the lid. Be sure to turn candle on before tapping it to the lid. Don’t glue this or you won’t be able to turn the votive candle back off.

Step 3

Next, screw the lid onto the jar. You may need to move eyeballs around a bit so that the votive fits inside the jar.

Step 4

Finally, take some scary cloth drape it over the jar but make sure you can still see the eyeballs. Once you have the cloth where you like it, glue it to the jar to secure it in place.

Step 5

Use jar at night or in a dark place to see the eyes glow!
