ALIEN HEAD
STRING LIGHTS
1. Gather your supplies:
tissue paper, multicolored
construction paper, a
pencil, double-sided tape,
scissors, toothpicks and
mini lights.
2. Using a pencil and a
thicker sheet of paper,
make the stencil for your
alien lights by drawing
out your alien.
3. Cut out the alien
stencil.
4. Gather a piece of
construction paper and
fold it in half. Then, place
the alien stencil with its
head slightly over the top
of the paper that has the
fold and trace the stencil
(including the eyes).
5. Cut the alien head out.
Once this has been cut,
there should be two aliens
connected by a fold at the
top. Cut the alien eyes out
on only one side of the
paper. Repeat until you
have enough aliens for a
whole strand.
6. Using a toothpick,
poke a small hole into the
center of the eyes on the
side that has not been cut
out.
7. Measure out tissue
paper and cut it so that
it is the same size as the
alien head.
8. Using double-sided
tape, attach the tissue
paper to the side of the
alien head that has the
eyes cut out. Trim any
excess tissue paper that is
hanging off the edges.
9. Tape the other side
closed as well.
10. Insert the lights into
the part of the alien head
with the small holes that
have been created by the
toothpicks.
11. Whether it’s light or dark out, these alien head string lights are an easy project to do for an
out-of-this-world decoration! #HalloweenHills
