Equipment
- Craft brushes and a stipler sponge plus hot glue if adding a small banner.
Supplies
- Mason Jars or repurposed jars - if you are repurposing jars you can find out here how to totally and easily remove the labels and the residue from them
- Frog tape for the stripes - the width will be determined by how wide you want your stripes to be. I chose a smaller width tape of .94 inches.
- Craft Paint - any type of inexpensive craft paint will do. I used Decoart for this project.
- Craft paintbrushes and a stipler sponge.
- Optional: Googly-eyed spider tealights, and small Halloween Banner
Instructions
- For the striped jar I used Frog Tape in a smaller width to mark where
I wanted the lines but I didn't snug it up tight enough (I didn't want to pull
the white paint below off) and I had some leakage but it's not too noticeable
especially if I turn the jar just right. - I had a lot of fun decorating the Mason Jars. I used a BOO banner from
the scrapbooking department of a local craft store for the vase jar and
placed an inexpensive bunch of faux flowers inside. - For the striped mason jar, I wrapped a battery-operated tea light with washi tape and placed a painted papier-mache pumpkin on the top. I carved out the bottom of the pumpkin using an X-Acto knife to allow for the candlelight to show through.
- I also had some fun making a pompom spider with a 4.8 cm pompom maker maker and adding black chenille stems for the legs. I also glued some glow-in-the-dark googly eyes onto his little head and placed him atop the orange mason jar with black polka dots.
