What I used
1. Pringles container ( cut down to about 5") you could use it as tall as you like.
2. Glue gun and a glue stick.
3. Black spray paint. Walmart brand .99 cents
4. 1 small piece of parchment paper ( you could use wax paper or none) I liked how it diffused the light of the tea light
5. Black craft paint. and a small brush.
6. Olive green paint and glow in the dark green paint.
7. 1 battery operated tea light. No regular candles please this is a paper container.
How I did it.
I first drew my mouth and eye shape on the can with a marker. It doesn't matter if you make a mistake like I did. because the paint will cover it.
after cutting out the one eye I flipped the shape over to the other side to use as a template for the second eye. Then I cut out the second eye and the mouth shape.
I then started dripping hot glue from the top of the can and letting it run down the sides. Not real close together at first,otherwise it makes big wide drips because it joins together. Once the first circle around of drips is dry I then went back and started adding more in between.
When I was happy with this, I then started to concentrate on his face area, adding more and more drips and trying to get them to cover the eye area. Without dripping all the way down and getting stringy.
I was going to use the chalkboard paint but changed my mind, it was not covering like I wanted it to. I chose to spray paint it black, that was the fastest way for me. But you could use regular black craft paint.
When the black paint was dry I dry brushed the olive green onto the drips and just a little around the can in some areas. Let it dry.
I then dry brushed the glow in the dark green onto the drips.
I was happy with the way it looked with just the olive. Not sure how I feel about the glow paint. I may go back and redo the black and olive green.
I then painted the inside of the can with black craft paint and hot glued a piece of velum paper over the face on the inside.
This made it so you could not see the tea light itself but you can see the light when its on. Gives a nice glow.
This is what it looked like when I was done.
