If, like me, your pumpkin carving skills leave a lot to be desired, check out this less labour-intensive version for a quick and simple solution to lighting up your Halloween.

What you need: Smooth mason jar Glue Orange tissue paper Black paper Green ribbon Scissors Pencil Tealight candle What you need to do: Cut the orange tissue paper into about one inch width strips, then lightly glue them vertically to the outside of your mason jar. With a pencil, draw your pumpkin's eyes, nose, mouth on the black paper, then cut the pieces out before glueing to the outside of the mason jar. Wrap the green ribbon around the top of the jar. Fill the bottom of the jar with rice, then put your tealight candle in the middle. Main image via The Vegan Bear
