Happy halloween! I love decorating for halloween; but sometimes it can be expensive! They I realized how many mason jars I had lying around, I keep all my jam jars, spagetti sauce jars & wash them out and store them. Now here is a simple Halloween DIY to help you use up all those mason jars you have lying around! You can even Use Baby Food Jars to make Baby Pumpkins!
All You Need:
- Mason Jars Or Baby food jars, jars of your choice
- Paint (clack and orange for pumpkin, green for frankenstein.. You can do whatever you would like)
- Glitter (If you so choose..)
- Brushes
- Newspaper (to paint on)
- Foam stickers (You can get at your local $1 Store)
- Fake candle or real candle…
- Glue, Hot glue or krazy Glue (to glue candle to the bottom of jar)
1st: Soak your jar in hot water & soap for 5 min to remove any paper stickers (I know those can be a real pain to take off)
2nd: You can put some paint into you mason jar & Flip it upside down and let it drain
*If paints to thick add some water to help it run a lot faster, You only need a dime size drop of paint in there….
or you can just grab your brush and paint the inside yourself…
Its alot faster to paint the inside with a brush, but its your choice…
3rd: Set it out to dry
4th : You can paint the lids it all depends on the look you want..
5th: Paint the face on your pumpkin….(this is the fun part, get creative, you can do scary pumpkins or goofy ones like mine!)
Last: you want to either glue your candle to the bottom of mason Jar (or else it will fall out when you try to light it) or you can just add a fake candle
And Walla! Easy Halloween Decorations!
You can even get more creative & Create Witches, frankenstein & ghosts..
You can add stickers to the outside of your pumpkins or keep them plain its all up to you! On my Ghost I Added A ghost face in front and then ghost stickers in the back….You can use any glass jars you like, the Ghost is actually made with a recycled Snapple Bottle!
I love halloween because I love the crazy costumes & Decorations are so fun!! Hope You guys liked this EASY DIY… Whats your favorite halloween decoration? What do you do with your mason jars?
