Turn a simple flashlight into a Halloween torch.

Materials:

Lamp shade paper (available at art supply stores)

Pencil

X-Acto knife

Black Tempura Paint

Craft glue

Orange tissue paper

Black duct tape

Form the lamp shade paper into a cone to fit around the head of the flashlight and cut off the excess. Draw scary figures like bats and witches on the outside of the shade. Cut out with the X-Acto knife. Paint the outside of the shade black and let dry. Then line the inside of the shade with the orange tissue paper.

Place the lamp shade over the flashlight, reforming the cone and glue or staple the seems shut. Secure in place and tape with the black duct tape. Turn on the flashlight and watch those spooky images dance in the night.
