Need to add a quick festive touch to your Halloween party? Here’s a way to make your own Halloween pumpkin face drinking glasses, and all you need is some black electrical tape!

Yes, if you already had some black electrical tape around the house, then this little Halloween craft project won’t cost you anything at all. And even if you have to go buy some, it’s still a pretty inexpensive item. Then just choose some clear drinking glasses from your cupboard and you’re ready to get started.

To make the pumpkin jack-o-lantern faces you will need to use a scissors to cut small shapes from pieces of the black electrical tape. You can keep it easy with simple shapes or do something a little more detailed with more cuts and zig-zags. You could also sketch something on paper first. Just remember you will still need to cut the shapes out freehand so don’t stress yourself out and just have fun with it. One of the faces I made simply uses a circle for the mouth and two triangles for the eyes.

I used wine glasses for this project because they have a rounder shape for the pumpkin faces. However you can do this with any clear drinking glass, for instance using a small juice glass if you want to do this with children and don’t want them messing with your good wine glasses.

Stick your shapes onto the glasses to make your jack-o-lantern face. You only need to stick them on lightly, and they’re easy to peel off and re-adjust as needed. Also, try not to place the shapes too high on the glass so that you don’t have to fill the glass to the tippy-top with the beverage to get the final effect.

And of course it’s fun to fill your glasses with something orange too. I used orange soda, but you could also use an orange colored juice for kids. But these glasses can still be festive even if you don’t have an orange beverage and you could also use cider, wine, or whatever you’re having at your party. As long as the beverage is light enough so the pumpkin face can be seen, then it’s all good!
