Pumpkin Painting & Candle Making

Free Community Art Event

📍 Second floor of the West Loop library

Come make a candle inside a mini pumpkin.

We are taking over a meeting room at the Chicago Public Library West Loop branch for an hour of pumpkin decorating & candle making. Pick a mini pumpkin, decorate it however you want with acrylic markers, Kitpas crayons, googly eyes & pipe cleaners, then line it with foil, fill it with pearled candle sand & set a wick.

You leave with a candle you made.
