Materials
To make Halloween light balls, you will need:
- transparent plastic balls Ø 8 cm
- acrylic paint (white, green, orange)
- a paintbrush
- movable eyes Ø 2.5 cm
- double-sided tape

Step 1
Open the plastic balls in half and then paint the inside of them with acrylic paint.
Let them dry for about 30 minutes and then apply a second coat of paint if needed.
Step 2
Transform the balls into little Halloween monsters by gluing Ø 2.5 cm googly eyes with adhesive tape and drawing the details using a black permanent marker.
Step 3
Before closing the ball, place an electric candle inside so that your character glows in the dark.
Step 4
Once night falls, your little monsters will still be visible thanks to the candle placed inside the balls!

I love this idea of being able to make things myself, this beautiful light-up electric garland is customizable as desired, so great, the kids are going to be happy. Thank you.
J'adore cette idée de pouvoir faire soi meme les choses , cette guirlande électrique lumineuse est trop belle , personnalisable a souhait , trop trop bien , c'est les enfants qui vont etre contents . Merci
can we make them with gouache?
est ce qu'on peut les réaliser avec de la gouache ?
Il est préférable d'utiliser une peinture acrylique qui accrochera mieux au plastique des boules transparentes :)
Nice to make. We applied two coats of paint for a better finish. However, the green paint is more opaque than the others and in the end, you can't see the glow of the candle inside unlike the others. Had to redo the green ball.
Sympa à réaliser. Nous avons mis deux couches de peinture pour un meilleur rendu. Mais la peinture verte est plus couvrante que les autres et au final on ne voit pas la lueur de la bougie à l'intérieur contrairement aux autres. Obligé de recommencer la boule verte.
Hello, Can black acrylic paint work as well or not? I would like to turn these balls into bats and/or spiders... Thank you in advance for your feedback or ideas. Best regards.
Bonjour, Est-ce que de la peinture acrylique noire peut convenir aussi ou pas ? J'aimerai décliner ces boules en chauve-souris et/ou araignées... Merci d'avance pour votre retour ou vos idées. Cordialement.
