4th of July Lantern

In our house a nightlight is very important. Both of my kids cannot go to sleep without one and I cannot maneuver a room in the dark without breaking something (toy or toe). So we decided to redo this project from a couple of years ago only with a Patriotic twist.

 

 

Supplies

 

Plastic Jar

Painters Tape

Marker

Paint

Scissors

Foam Paint Brush

Battery Operated Tea Light

 

 

Directions

 

1. Using a marker draw stars directly onto your painters tape roll.

 

2. Cut out the stars and place onto the plastic jar. We used a recycled peanut butter jar which we seem to have plenty of (mayo jars are usually plastic too)!

 

3. Using your foam brush paint the entire jar. Make sure the stickers are completely covered.

 

4. Once the paint has dried carefully peel back the stars.

 

5. Place a battery operated tea light into the jar and turn out the lights!

 

 

I am happy to report both kids went straight to bed when I told them we could use their new night light! Liv only asked for drink of water maybe once (okay twice)! ;)
