How to Make Pumpkin Mason Jars
1. First, paint the mason jars.
You may need to do 2-3 coats depending on the type of paint you are using. Paint until it does not look transparent.
You can also do a base coat in white which will cut down on the number of colored coats you’ll need.
Optional: Once the coats of orange are finished, you can brush on a coat of orange glitter paint.
2. Once all the base coats of paint are dry, the final touch is adding your Jack-o-lantern faces.
Make them as silly or as traditional as you’d like!
3. The final step is to add a coat of mod podge on top to seal the paint.
The mod podge will dry clear.
These cute Halloween jars would make a cute Halloween gift this year!
And I love that these are really easy for kids to make too!

So cute! As a sloppy painter, I’ll glue on face parts cut from black felt!
