First, prepare the empty dry bottle with lid, acrylic paint and a small marble.
Then open the empty bottle and put the marble in the bottle.
Now fill a stain of yellow acrylic paint in the bottle. Make sure that it remains at the top of the bottle and does not drip onto the bottom of the bottle.
Then you fill a small chunk of red color with it.
Now turn the lid firmly onto the bottle.
Then you shake the bottle. The marble distributes the paint.
Try out different possibilities of movement until the bottle receives the desired colour mix.
That's what the bottle might look like.
Let an adult help you with this step!
Open the bottle and carefully roll the marble onto a handkerchief or cloth. It is completely covered with paint. Make sure that the paint does not touch anything and wash the marble immediately with water.
Now put the opened bottle to dry.
As soon as the paint is dried, cut off the bottle neck with a cutter knife. To do this, place the bottle on a base. Attention: the bottle can roll away - risk of injury! Let an adult help you.
Make sure that no sharp edges stand at the edge.
For the suspension you hole two holes in the bottle at the upper edge. These lie exactly opposite each other.
Through the holes you now insert a paper cord with wire from the outside to the inside and twist the end of the wire.
Inserts the paper cord with wire also on the other side from the outside to the inside and twists the end of the wire here as well.
You can wear the lantern on this handle or attach a lantern stick to it.
First you paint a large sheet on a cardboard roll.
Then you cut out the recorded sheet. The sheet does not lie flat, but it can be pressed well flat.
Now paint the leaf with green water color.
Then put the leaf to dry.
Then you punch the dry leaf.
Then you thread the sheet onto a piece of paper tape and attach it to the handle.
To decorate, you embellish the tendril by wrapping it like a spiral over a pen. Then you push the resulting spiral down from the pen.
Then put the tendril around the handle and your little pumpkin lantern is ready.
You can also paint a pumpkin face on the lantern. For this you paint a face on the pumpkin with a waterproof felt pen.
Stay creative and have fun doing crafts!
