Jar-O-Lantern

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year! I get very excited right about now preparing for pumpkin flavored goodies, trick or treating, and the falling leaves! Not to even mention the cooler temps!

The kids and I created an art project that was very simple and turned out great! The kids (all ages) loved doing this one.

 Also, great if you have left over canning jars from the summer. I was able to pull this one together with just things we had around the house. Fun for all and makes a great decoration for fall!

You can use Ball jars or empty pickle or salsa jars work well too. I prefer plain jars (they are easier to paint).

Cut your eyes, mouth, and nose and place on the jar. We used the blue painter's tape.

 

Choose your paint. LOVE this craft paint, and it works well.

 

 

 

 Begin painting the jar all over even the mouth of the jar.

 

 You might want to apply two coats, just wait for it to dry and decide. We applied two coats.

Our finished project!
