Making Pumpkin Mason Jars
1. Begin by painting the mason jars.
Depending on the kind of paint you choose, 2-3 layers may be necessary. Continue painting until the surface is no longer see-through.
Applying a white base layer first is another option, and it can reduce the number of colored layers required.
Optional: After the orange layers have dried, brush on a layer of orange glitter paint.
2. After the paint’s base layers have completely dried, finish the jars by adding Jack-o-lantern faces.
Design them to be goofy or classic—whatever style you prefer!
3. To complete the project, apply a coat of Mod Podge to protect and seal the paint.
The Mod Podge will become transparent as it dries.
These adorable Halloween jars would be a wonderful Halloween present this year!
I also appreciate how simple they are for children to create!
