Día de Muertos lanterns

For a fun, frugal Day of the Dead project, try these kid-friendly Día de Muertos lanterns from Growing Up Bilingual. These are calaveras drawn onto white plastic cups with a Sharpie, and then illuminated with LED tea lights. Put your own mark on these little lights by remembering your family’s loved ones; draw a picture of a deceased relative or write their name. Place along a windowsill for a pretty decoration.  

Next project: Photo candle holders
