Little Halloween Monsters with Lights
Get ready for Halloween festivities with this clever and captivating DIY glowing monster project for kids! Here, we will transform a small plastic jar into a friendly mummy or a scary creature. Thanks to the translucent effect of the masking tape, monster eye stickers, and a small LED bulb, each jar turns into a mysterious lamp ready to light up the evening of October 31st.
Why we love this activity?
- The combination of masking tape and LED bulb creates a beautiful diffused light with no risk of burns.
- A clean and quick activity for an easy creative workshop to organize at school or at home.
- Thanks to the cord that comes out of the lid, these little jars can easily be hung on tree branches in the garden, on a window, or as a garland.

- monster eye stickers
- colorful mega caterpillars

Create your monster by sticking on two eye stickers and drawing the mouth with a black marker.
Step 3
Cut a mega caterpillar into 2 pieces and wrap one piece around the neck of the jar.
Twist the two ends of the caterpillar together to secure everything in place.
Step 4
Turn the jar lid upside down and make a hole in the center using a hole punch.
Note: Place a cutting mat under the lid to protect your work surface!
Step 5
Thread the bulb's cord through the hole in the lid.
Step 6
Place the bulb inside the jar and screw on the lid.
Step 7
