We love to decorate for the holidays... any holiday, every holiday... but especially Halloween (and well Christmas, but you get the point)! I had seen these cute jar o'lanterns, but with Sissy in school we haven't had much time for crafting. Yesterday I took advantage of Sissy being home sick, and we made some adorable Halloween decor. The supplies are cheap, the process simple, and the effect is quite charming.
Jar O'Lanterns
Supplies:
- glass jars
- orange acrylic paint
- stickers & painters tape
- paint brushes
- tea light candles
- Using stickers or painters tape, make a jack o'lantern face on each jar. We picked different size jars and made one for each member of the family. We used Halloween themed stickers to construct the eyes and noses and I cut the mouths out of painters tape.
- Paint each jar with an even coat of orange acrylic paint.
- Let the paint dry, then remove the stickers and tape.
- Place a tea light in each jar and light!
Have fun creating your own jar o'lanterns. Oh, and please share your favorite Halloween craft in the comments! We need a little more decor!
Decorate the front door. Last year was scary monster with 2 paper plate eyes, pipe cleaner eyebrows and crepe paper hair at the top of the door. Paper for the mouth? This year black eyes from paper and door wrapped in white crepe paper for a mummy!!!
