Little Tealight Holder

Three great Halloween decorations all at once, lit with LEDs and crocheted from a few scraps of leftover yarn:

The Bat String Lights

and

The Halloween Lantern

and finally

 the illuminated skull.

All 3 decorative pieces look great even unlit, but they become especially spooky when it gets dark and you turn on the lights!

With this pattern, you can crochet around jars in a wide variety of sizes using the yarn of your choice, giving old jars a second life—in the spirit of conserving resources, DIY, and upcycling.

This creates beautiful lantern jars, which you can make for both outdoors and indoors.

If you’d also like to make candles yourself from old candle remnants, you’ll find the pattern for candle making here (the part for crocheting around the containers is the same as above).

Have fun crocheting :)
