Altoids Halloween Office Decoration

Here is a desk top decoration that will get you in the spirit of  Halloween.  They are quick and easy to make and do not require a lot of supplies.  These would make unique Halloween party favors. I used some pumpkin straws but regular colored straws work nicely.  The kids would enjoy making these for their friends.  

Here is the list:

• Plastic straws
• Magnet strip
• Halloween stickers
• Black paper
• Tape 
• Scissors
• Empty Altoids container
• Finger LED lights
• Pen

Instructions:

• Trace the lid of the Altoids can on the black paper.
• Cut out the shape.
• Tape the shape to the lid of the can.
• Decorate the top with several stickers.

Attaching the magnet:

• Cut a small piece of the magnet to tape to the LED light.
• Tape the magnet piece to the LED light as shown.  

Please note:  You want to tape it to the flat edge where there is no switch.

Instructions for the straws:

• Mark the length of the Altoids can on the straws.
• Cut them slightly shorter than your mark.

Instructions:

• Test the lights to make sure they work.
• Tape the straws to the LED lights as shown.
• You may make them shorter if you like.
• Turn them on and stick them to the can.

Instructions:

• The straws go into the Altoids can.
• The LED lights are stuck to the top of the Altoids can for storing when not in use.

Led lights are so great!  They seem to last forever.  I love to use them for a lot of my crafts. These turned out so nice. I like quick and easy projects like these.  It makes it fun and is easy enough to do with the kids.

Thanks for stopping in!  Please do check back because I have a lot more projects coming up and I do post often!  Take care of yourself and your family!  Have a super day!
