Last Minute Clip Art Halloween DécorYou have probably seen the papier-mâché lunch bags that hold tea lights for decoration. The lunch bags pricked with a pin to display a design when the lit candles are placed inside the bag.
As a last minute clip art idea, we have created a fun and crafty clip art recipe.
You will need:

  • A roll of aluminum foil
  • Paper bags
  • Your favorite clip art from www.graphicsfactory.com
  • Tea light candles
  • Glue
  • Sewing needle or pin
  • Stapler

Directions:

  • Carefully and smoothly, line each bag with aluminum foil down the vertical sides; secure each piece of foil with a staple at the top
  • Cut out your clip art to show detail
  • Glue clip art to outside of the bag -whichever side you glue the clip art to is now the front
  • Take the pin or sewing needle and prick the clip art every two inches all the way around
  • Place the tea light on a small rectangular shape of foil a bit smaller than the bottom of the bag
  • Once you are ready to show off the design use a fireplace match to light the candle

This works best in a darker area
PLEASE NOTE : NEVER LEAVE CANDLES NEAR CHILDREN OR UNATTENDED, ALWAYS BLOW OUT FLAME BEFORE LEAVING THE ROOM OR GOING TO SLEEP!
