I am always looking for new ideas for Halloween crafts. Bonus points if it results in a decoration that I can use again. These painted Halloween candle decorations were a fun activity to do with my kids. They really got into the project and let their imaginations take over. While it was challenging to not have the traditional colors, they did like using the glow in the dark paints (because what kid doesn’t love stuff that glows). The best part was this was a fun way to use up some of those extra glasses that we definitely did not need in our glass cabinet.
Place the glass upside down on top of a plastic or paper cup. This allows you to move the glass around without having to touch the paint.
Get painting! Since there is not much to this project, I want to share a few things we learned while doing it.
Let the paint dry overnight. Then, you are ready to set up your decoration. Turn on the tea light and place the glass over the light. It will illuminate your design and create a festive decoration. We used glow in the dark paints so that they would charge up while the tea light was lit, then still show when the light was turned off.
