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 :(
