We have a slight abundance of large Mason jars which I rarely use for canning so I have begun looking for crafts to use with them. Coming up on Halloween I found an excellent craft on Pinterest for luminaries.
To start with we cleaned and dried some jars.
Katie was very excited about this project and was very ready to help.
Next we painted them with regular craft acrylic paint. We picked orange, white and green as our colors.
We let them dry for a day then got ready for some faces.
To make faces we drew them on with Sharpies then painted with black paint. We made white ghosts, orange pumpkins and green zombies (according to Katie, Frankenstein to everyone else).
Once the faces were dry I took them outside and sprayed them with Krylon Triple Thick Glaze, two coats.
For Halloween we put LED tea lights in them and put them in the windows of the house. I also took some to our Trunk or Treat and set them up around the car. They came our great and we will be using them for years in the future.
