DIY Halloween Painted Mason Jars

Celebrate the spooky season in a not so scary way with these adorable Halloween painted mason jars. You only need a few simple supplies!

Clean your mason jar well with soap and water, removing any dirt and fingerprints.
Then paint the outside of the jar with the base colour.
Make sure you paint the neck of the jar as well.
Allow to dry, and then add a second coat of paint. Apply a third coat, if necessary.

Once the base layer is completely dry, use a fine tip brush and black paint to add the triangle eyes.
You can lightly draw the eye shapes in with pencil first. But don't push too hard with a really sharp or mechanical pencil, since it may scrape the paint off.
Then give your jack-o-lantern a smaller triangle nose and a toothy grin.
If your Halloween mason jar has more details, like the Frankenstein, let each paint colour dry before outlining or overlapping them.

Once the paint is dry, cut a 24 inch piece of twine. Wrap it around the neck of the jar and tie a bow at the front of the jar.
Your Halloween painted mason jar is complete!
Now have fun creating more Halloween mason jar characters, like Frankenstein, a ghost, and Dracula!
