Halloween candle paper craft

Decorate candles for Halloween with easy to cut paper words and clip art.

Get some cheap old candles from Walmart and make them look like a million! Just download the Halloween scrapbook paper craft templates and attach to the candles using our easy directions.

You can cut the words and pictures by hand, or use your favorite die cut machine to do the job. Files compatible with most machines are included in the download.

Use black card stock, or black tissue paper. The tissue is harder to cut, so if your children are helping I would suggest using cardstock. Arrange the letters or clip art around the candle, (you can use a little bit of glue or two way tape to help attach the letters to candle).

The next step is to wrap the candle with a sheet of wax paper, and then use a hair dryer or embosser to apply heat and melt the art into the candles. Apply heat until the area is shiny, then move on to the next area.

Remove the wax paper, and your candle is now ready to be lit. These make great teachers gifts, or Halloween party decorations.

As always, please use common sense when burning candles. Never leave a burning candle unattended!

Spooky spider web Halloween paper lantern.

Halloween Paper Lantern Decorated with Paper Spider Web and Paper Spider

Fall is now officially here. The leaves are starting to turn colors, and the temperature is getting crisper. Decorate your home, and delight your children with easy to make Halloween paper lanterns.


Just download the files for the spider web and spider. Then cut the web and spider out of black card stock with scissors or use your favorite die cut machine. (Cutting files are included in the download.)

I used spray adhesive to attach the web to the lantern, but mod podge would also work.

Punch a hole in the spiders bottom and attach a black ribbon. Tie the ribbon to the bottom of the lantern. Enjoy your cheap and easy Halloween paper craft project.

If you read my blog post about the Pazzles Inspiration die cut machine, you know that I own this die cut machine and think it is awesome. Check out their site for more free files, or for some inspiration. Lots of good ideas!

I wanted to make a paper craft for the fall season and took the file one step further, altering it in Adobe Illustrator to a pumpkin shape. I think the project turned out well! Download the free template and follow the instructions below to make your own beautiful lace pumpkin fall paper craft.
