NIGHT LIGHT LUMINARY FROM THE AMERICAN VISIONARY MUSEUM
Sticking with the theme of outdoor fun, kids can craft a colorful jar luminary to give to dad on Father’s Day.

This easy DIY will brighten up the front porch or even dad’s desk—when he heads back into the office, that is.

What you need:
• Tissue paper, cut into small pieces
• Clean container, plastic or glass
• White glue
• Paintbrush
• Scissors (optional)
• Colored paper or cardstock (optional)
• Beads, buttons, pom poms (optional)
• Hot glue gun (optional)
• Stencil (optional)
• Battery-operated LED light or
glowstick How to make it:
Use a paintbrush to paint a layer of glue
inside the jar. Layer tissue paper on top
of the glue, using your paintbrush to push
each piece against the inside of the jar.

Once you’ve finished layering your tis-
sue paper, decorate the outside of the jar
by cutting shapes out of colored paper or
using doo-dads like beads or pom poms
and attaching them with a hot glue gun.

You can also stencil “Happy Father’s Day”
onto cardstock, cut out the letters and
glue them to the outside of the jar. Finish
by adding your LED light or glowstick.
