Let your kids be creative and have fun as they craft patriotic candle holders to celebrate the 4th of July. 
Supplies:
  • Baby food jar (or other glass container)
  • Red, white, and blue tissue paper
  • Glue
  • Paint brush
  • Battery operated candles
Steps:

  3. Apply tissue paper cut into small squares and stars in red, white, and blue. 
  4. Paint another layer of glue on top of tissue (feel free to apply liberally as the glue dries clear).
