Tea Light Witches are little witches made with green flameless tea lights and some simple craft supplies. They are very easy to make and look SO CUTE! Turn on the light and the flame becomes the witch’s glowing nose for nighttime Halloween decor. You’re going to love this…. (psst: They make cute DIY gifts too!).

Tea Light Witches
Today I was at Wal-Mart for some random odds and ends. I got some sunscreen for an upcoming vacation, some window cleaner, etc. Suddenly, I found myself happily stuck in the Halloween aisle! I left with all of the craft supplies needed to make these witch tea lights! I love days like these…..
Pin this now to save it for later

Supplies:
- Green flameless tea lights. I found these in the Halloween section at Wal-Mart, but you can also get similar ones here on Amazon
- Googly eyes
- Craft felt in black, purple, and yellow
- Glue gun (or tacky glue for kids)
- Black ribbon
- Purple and black craft rhinestones
Instructions:
Start by cutting out a witch hat in black craft foam. I just did it freehand (it’s so easy!).

Next, glue the eyes to the candle.

I gave her a big purple wart! EWWW…. but so necessary, right?
Since the pack of candles I bought came in a set of 4, I made both purple and black witch hats. The witches with the black hats got a purple wart and the witches with the purple hats got a black wart.

With extra ribbon, you can hang the witch tea lights for nighttime Halloween decor. Or, place them in a small cellophane bag and hand them out as DIY Halloween gifts. So ADORABLE!

- Cut a thin strip of yellow felt and place it along her hat (glue in the back).
- Glue on a small yellow felt square over the yellow belt.
- Finally, you’ll need to glue the string on the back so that the candle can be hung. I tied it in a bow at the top.
- Glue the string to the back of the candle.
These are such a fabulous idea, definitely want to try them ourselves!
