Halloween Crafts for Kids

If you are a fan of our Facebook page you already know that I love my cup of coffee in the morning. I only have one cup (ok, sometimes 2) but I do look forward to it! I use the Keurig System and love how simple it is to use (this post is not sponsored Keurig but if they want to send me something, I will take it). However, you do end up with a lot of empty plastic K-Cups. This project is one way to reuse and upcycle the K-cup into a glowing lantern for Halloween. It is easy enough for the kids to make with only a few basic supplies.

Materials:

K-Cups

Permanent Marker

LED Tealight Candle

cardboard tube (optional)

Tutorial:

Step 1: Empty out the k-cup. Dump out the coffee and tear out the filter. It is easy to do, just be sure to empty it over a garbage can. Wash out the K-cup and dry.

Step 2: Turn the K-Cup upside down and use a permanent marker to draw your design. We decided to do a jack-o-lantern face and a scared ghost face.

Step 3: Place the K-Cup over a LED light and illuminate!

Design Tip: We placed the K-Cup on a piece of cardboard tube so that it was raised to the same level as the LED light providing it with the most light.

There are many possibilities with this project! Share with us your latest upcycle art project on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Google +!
