This easy DIY project uses a plastic mason jar, plastic eyeballs, and an LED candle to create a creepy lantern. The eyeballs are packed inside, the candle is taped to the lid, and green cloth is draped over the jar for a haunting effect.

You'll need

Plastic Mason Jars

Green Creepy Cloth

Plastic Eyeballs

LED Votive Candle

Scissors

Hot Glue

Double-sided tape

Directions

Remove the lid from a plastic mason jar and fill the jar with plastic eyeballs, packing them tightly so they don't shift around.

Attach an LED votive candle to the underside of the lid using double-sided tape. Turn the candle on before taping it, and avoid using glue so you can turn it off later.

Screw the lid back onto the jar. You may need to adjust the eyeballs to make room for the votive candle inside.

Drape green creepy cloth over the jar, ensuring the eyeballs remain visible. Once positioned, secure the cloth to the jar with hot glue.

Display the lantern at night or in a dark place to see the eyes glow.
