Samhain Votives:


Collect one baby food jar, one votive, back & orange tissue paper,
glue and paint brush for each child.
Soak labels off of jars. Let the jars dry. Let each child cut tissue
paper pieces and glue onto the jar with paint brush...Much like a
decoupage. They can make mosaics or even a jack-o-lantern. With
permanent marker add child's name and date to the bottom of the jar.
Add a votive These are a wonderful, keepsake to use year after year
on the altar or for a child's personal altar.

Cool. I never thought to do it with a baby food jar and a candle. My kids make these often for things like pencil jars and change jars and give them away as gifts. I'll see what they think about the candle idea. I know my daughter will love the idea. She's really into candles and is looking to make her own altar soon.

Thanks for all the great ideas you have been posting, ladycourt!
