Welcome kids and families to your front door with Halloween lanterns! Designer Grace created a lantern set that would look great in a window or on a front porch. We love how it looks lit up!

**Designed by:** Grace Tolman  
**Time:** Approximately 20 minutes  
**Level:** Beginner  
**Size:** 4” x 11” x 2 ½”

I love how easy and inexpensive this Halloween décor was. It will be a perfect addition to my porch come October 31st. My favorite part is how the shapes illuminate at night once tea light candles are added to it.![glue-dots-boo-tealight-holder-set-B](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/glue-dots-boo-tealight-holder-set-B.jpg?width=200&height=133&name=glue-dots-boo-tealight-holder-set-B.jpg)

**Here's what you need:**

- [Craft Glue Dots®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1014?plpver=1002)
- Brown paper bag
- Letter stickers
- Glittered Cardstock - [Die Cuts with a View](http://www.dcwv.com/new-products/details/dcwv-12x12-premium-paper-stack-spooky-delight)
- Vellum
- Border Stamp![glue-dots-boo-tealight-holder-set-O](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/glue-dots-boo-tealight-holder-set-O.jpg?width=200&height=302&name=glue-dots-boo-tealight-holder-set-O.jpg)
- Black ink
- Cut files
- Die cut machine
- Circle template
- Scissors
- Battery operated candles

**Here's what you do:**

1. Cut out pumpkin and bat shapes using your die cut machine.
2. Stamp the distressed background onto the brown paper bag using black ink.
3. Make a 3” circle mark on the center of the bag using a template. Cut out the circle (only from the front of the bag) with a pair of scissors.
4. Cut out a piece of vellum, about 4” square, and adhere to the inside of the bag behind the open circle using 1" Glue Lines.
5. Adhere the glittered jack-o-lantern and bat shapes onto the circle over the vellum pieces using Pop Up Glue Dots.
6. Add the letter stickers on the bottom of each bag.
7. Place a battery operated tea light at the bottom of each bag and turn on at night.

NOTE: If you are using real candles, place the tea lights in a small jar like a baby food jar before placing in to the bag. This will prevent you from accidentally burning the bag when you light the candles.
