Jack o’Lantern Votive Candle Holders

INGREDIENTS:

Small baby food jars
Liquid starch
Orange tissue paper
Black tissue paper
Votive candles

PREPARATION:

Wash and scrub the outside of the jars well, making sure all the adhesive is off.

Cut the orange tissue paper into varying shapes with no dimension greater than 3/4 inch.

Cut eyes, nose and mouth out of black tissue paper. Set aside.

Pour a small amount of starch onto a Styrofoam plate. Dip each piece of orange tissue paper into starch and place on the outside of the jar, overlapping. Cover the jar well. Let the orange tissue paper dry.

Dip the black tissue cut-outs into the starch and place in the appropriate place to make a jack o’lantern face. Place a small votive candle in the jar.
