Mason jars make exceptional decorative items for the house. You will be amazed by the beautiful creations that these lowly jars can become. Halloween presents an opportunity for you to go all out with your mason jar creations. In this article, we look as some Halloween mason jars that you can use.

You will need scissors, glue, a lighting source and a couple of mason jars. Mason jars are readily available. Look around your pantry, and you will be able to find at least 4 or 5 lying around.

Lighting sources can be anything from votive candles to LEDs you can buy from your dollar store. For the decorations, you will figure them out from the few ideas that we shall explore.

One way to use your mason jars is transforming them into jack-o-lanterns. For this, you will need to buy some jack-o-lantern stickers, or you can make some for yourself. If you opt for the latter, you will need sticky paper, thin wire and led lights.

Draw the different faces on the paper and cut out the eyes and mouth. Make sure you leave enough paper to cover the entire jar. Insert the battery-powered LED to provide the light source.

Finally, create a handle using the thin wire. Wrap the wire in a loop around the mouth of the jar for extra strength. Your jack-o-lanterns are ready to hang anywhere around your house. The LED light is preferred as it does not produce heat and will not melt the sticker.

Another great mason jar idea is to stick googly eyes around the mason jar. The more the eyes, the spookier the decoration. For this idea, you need as many googly eyes as you can fit around the jar and some glue. Put in the light source and you are ready to go.

The best places for this decoration are next to the candy. You will enjoy yourself by how people jump each time they go for one. An alternative to this is to use sticky bugs for the same concept. Spiders and scorpions make great additions.

You can also spray paint mason jars to spell lout different Halloween themed phrases. For this, you will need some spray paint and letter stencils. Stick the stencil on the jar and spray away.

You can easily create these ideas from mason jars and some easy stuffs. I have collected over 35 Halloween mason jar craft ideas for you. Enjoy Halloween with your family!
