Halloween Mason Jar Lanterns

More Halloween crafts! As promised here are the instructions for the halloween mason jar lanterns. This is not my own original idea, so as usual I will post a link to the original source and you can either follow my guidelines or use theirs.

Painted Mason Jars

Supplies:

Mason Jars
Spray Paint
Black Sharpies
Ribbon
Glue Gun
Tea lights

Directions:

Step one Spray paint your mason jars and allow time to dry.
Step Two Draw your designs on each mason jar with your sharpie and fill in. I found the sharpie wasn't black enough so I ended up painting a coat of black acrylic paint over top.** 
Step Three Glue Ribbon around top of mason jar to jazz them up
Step Four Insert tea light and enjoy!

Super easy halloween craft, and super cute!

Completed Mason Jar Lanterns

*When I was finished painting over the sharpie I thought I would like to do a coat of clear finish but DO NOT do this. It will make your sharpie run and ruin your mason jar! Yes, I figured this out by trial and error :(

Halloween Crafts

Now that the weather has cooled off and we are home from Vancouver I have started working on Halloween Crafts. I just love crafting and why not make some of my own halloween decorations! My First Craft was the eyeball frame.

Supplies needed:

Cheap Frame ( I bought mine at Dollarama)
Green Paint (acrylic paint from Michaels)
Various sizes of googley eyes (Michaels)

How to Make:

Step 1  paint the outside of the frame green and allow time to dry
Step 2 Glue gun various sizes of eyes all over the frame
Step 3 print a picture or caption for inside your frame

My Inspiration 

My Halloween Frame

My inspiration came from this blog, which I of course found on pinterest. You can check out the blog for alternative instructions as well. I opted to do mine slightly differently, but I think both styles are cute!

My next craft project was potion bottles. I searched high and low for bottles that looked like potion bottles but didnt have much luck. Fortunately I remembered pinning something a long while back, about a site to order mason jars from. I decided to take a look at the site and sure enough there were all kinds of bottles you could order. I ended up getting 3 different shaped bottles and 3 viles. The total cost was $30.00 and beleive it or not 2/3 of the cost was shipping. Meaning the bottles were darn cheap! Anyway then I printed off free potion labels, again from pinterest found sites and used modge podge to adhesive them to the bottles. My last step is to fill the bottles with "potion" AKA colored water. Cute little halloween decor for super cheap!
