DIY Mason Jar Laterns For Halloween Decoration

These fun mason jar lanterns are perfect for anyone in the market for a new Halloween decoration. Though they’re easy to make and inexpensive to create, they’ll still rival any trendy decoration you’ll find at your nearest home décor store. Display them on your mantle this season or cluster a few together on a table for a spooky centerpiece at your upcoming Halloween party.

What you’ll need:

Smooth-sided mason jars
Black spray paint
Scotch tape
Tissue paper – orange, green, white, purple
Scissors
Paintbrush
Mod Podge
Black paper
Battery-operated tea-light candles

1. Paint the lid. Twist off the mason jar lid and turn it upside down. Use scotch tape to secure the top of the lid to the inside of the ring. Flip the lid over and place it on a piece of cardboard; the tape keeps he top circular part of the lid from slipping down,which prevents the lid getting stuck to the cardboard when painted. With smooth strokes, spray black gloss spray paint over the lid, making sure to coat the sides as well as the top. Apply several thin coats, allowing ample drying time between coats.

2. Cut the tissue paper. Turn the mason jar on its’ side and lay it on top of an unfolded piece of tissue paper. Cut one whole piece of paper so that it measures the same height of the mason jar using sharp scissors, then cut the tissue paper into 1-2 inch strips. Next, set the mason jar upright on top of an uncut piece of tissue paper and use a pencil to trace the bottom of the jar. Cut out the circle shape following the pencil line.

3. Paste the paper. Brush a thin layer of Mod Podge on the bottom of the jar before applying the circular piece of paper. Smooth the paper working from the center outward until it is sufficiently attached to the glass. Brush a section Mod Podge on the side of the jar that is about the same width as the tissue paper strips. Lay one strip of paper on the glue smoothing out any bubbles or folds as you work. Use light pressure when working with the tissue paper to keep it from tearing. The paper should extend from at least the bottom thread on the top of the jar to the piece of circular paper attached to the bottom. Overlap all other pieces of tissue paper on the jar by covering a small portion of the previously attached paper in Mod Podge. Allow the paper to dry completely.

4. Make the faces. Use scissors to cut shapes out of black paper for a jack-o-lantern, ghost, vampire, or Frankenstein face.
