Lutradur & Zeelon Halloween Lantern

by Ruth Morgan | October 11, 2024 | Posted in Lutradur, Zeelon

Well, it’s that time of year again, when witches and ghosts make their annual appearance! This year we’re marking the event with an easy to make lantern to create an eerie atmosphere . . .

Lutradur, Evolon & Zeelon Halloween Puppet Theatre

We used a set of battery operated fairy lights to illuminate our display (£2.50 from Wilkinsons including batteries) and we hope you like the effect as much as we do. Just imagine how attractive they would look softly glowing in a hall window on a dark and spooky October evening . . . To make the pumpkins we coloured some Lutradur 70gms with orange transfer paint and then drew a circle for each pumpkin using a compass.  Keeping the compass […]
