Choose one or more of the ten craft ideas, gather suitable supplies, and protect your work surface before beginning. Follow the project directions while adjusting colors, shapes, and decorations to suit your space and style.
Allow any glue, paint, or ink to dry fully before displaying or gifting the finished craft. Use battery-operated lights instead of open flames for the jar lantern, and supervise children when projects involve scissors or small decorative pieces.
