My love affair with mason jars isn't waning any time soon. I've used them to store leftover paint, found coins, and cupcake toppings. Here's one more way to use them:
What you'll need:
- mason jar (you don't need the lid)
- gauze (bought mine cheap at the dollar store)
- scotch tape
- white glue
- googly eyes
- tealight
1. Unravel the gauze and cut it into 2" wide strips. You need a strip that's about 2 feet long to cover a 500 ml mason jar
3. Insert a tealight and bring your mummy to life!
These would look great clustered as a centerpiece for a themed party. I'm going to make a
few more and use them to line our front steps on Halloween night. The gauze and glue are easily removable so you can reuse the mason jars after all the little ghosts and goblins have disappeared.

ReplyDeleteThose are adorable. I will have to add that idea to my Hallowe'en craft repertoire that I do with my class at school. We did make a similar craft using orange tissue paper glued onto mason jars to make pumpkin lanterns. You can see them here: http://gracie-senseandsimplicity.blogspot.ca/2010/10/pumpkin-jar-lanterns.html
