Last Minute Clip Art Halloween Décor
October 30th, 2007 No Comments Posted in Craft Ideas Using Clip Art
You 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!
