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.

Step 1: Supplies

Here is the list:

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

Step 2: Getting Started

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.

Step 3: The Magnet

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.

Step 4: The Straws

Instructions for the straws:

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

Step 5: Attaching the Straws to the LED Lights

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.

Step 6: Placing the Lights in the Altoids 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.

Step 7: Sunshiine's Final Thoughts

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.
