I realize it is now December, but I made these for Halloween a few months back and wanted to get them on here before long! They turned out super cute, and I plan to get them out again next year. (What better thing to feature for my first post!) Highly recommended for a porch or in the window. :)
Materials:
Mason Jars
Colored tissue paper
Black construction paper
Mod podge
Sponge brush
Instructions:
Tear the tissue paper into strips, and glue the strips to the side of the mason jar (covering completely). Once covered, paint mod podge over the tissue-covered jar with the sponge brush. (I found a sponge brush worked much better than a paintbrush...!) Leave to dry overnight.
Cut out jack-o-lantern faces from the black construction paper (pumpkin-type faces for the orange jars, Frankenstein faces for the green jars, etc!) and glue onto the tissue-covered jars with more of the mod podge. Leave to dry, and pop a candle into the jar for a pleasing glow! (I found a tea light was difficult to light inside the jar, so an LED tea light worked perfectly!)
