Halloween Crafts For Kids
There is something about Halloween time that creates a fun way for crafts to be made. I am not sure if it's the thought of decorating your house in all kinds of Halloween goodies or the cooling of the weather and having the kids inside more.
We are a big fan of "non-creepy" type characters at our house. We tend to stick to candy corn, pumpkins, and cats. That is what makes this craft project so fun and not too scary.

How to Make a Paper Luminary
Cut out all the pieces to make your luminary from the PDF templates.
Take a white tissue paper according to the size of the square-shaped gap on the template. Start gluing the colorful tissue paper on the white tissue paper.
Fill up the white tissue paper using the pieces of colorful tissue paper.
Glue the cat silhouette in the middle of the tissue paper.
Now join the colorful tissue paper piece on the back of the gap using craft glue.
Apply glue on one end of the cardstock.
Then join both ends together to finish your luminary.
Once your luminary dries it is ready to be lit.
Lastly, add a LED lights inside, and once the sun goes down it's time to turn it on.
Remember if these are going to be for outdoor use, LED and flameless candles are a must.
