DIY Mason Jar Jack-O-Lanterns

Just in time for Halloween decorating, these mason jars are quick, easy, and super fun to make. What we love about these mason jar jack-o-lanterns is they will outlast any pumpkin you carve and can be kept inside or outside. Hope you enjoy making these as much as we did. 

Here are the materials you will need to make your mason jar jack-o-lantern:

-Mason Jar

-Tape (masking or electrical)

-Frosted glass spray paint

-Sponge brush

-Acrylic paint (any fall colors you like, plus green for the lid)

-Scissors

-Pen 

-Paper (for sketching)

-Electric tea light 

Steps-

1. Clean your mason jar with water and soap. Make sure the jar is thoroughly dry before spray painting is. 

2. Spray the front of the mason jar with the Frosted Glass Spray paint. Allow to completely dry before continuing on. 

3. Sketch the jack-o-lantern face you would like onto a piece of paper. Then copy the design onto the tape.

4. Cut out the design from the tape and place over the frosted section of your mason jar. 

5. Get ready to paint. Sponge the entire mason jar with paint. Make sure to sponge over the tape design so there are no gaps.

6. Allow to completely dry, before removing the tape. 

7. Once the jar has dried, remove the tape carefully, making sure not to take any of the paint off the jar. 

8. Sponge the lid of the jar with green acrylic paint. Allow to dry completely before placing on the mason jar. 

Enjoy your Mason Jar Jack-O-Lantern, inside or outside.
