Halloween Mason Jar Vase
Easy Halloween craft for kids! This Halloween mason jar craft makes a whimsical googly eye vase for the Halloween decor.
Servings 1 mason jar
Ingredients
- 1 Mason Jar(s)
- 1 Bag Googly eyes Many!
- 1 can Black spray paint
- Glue gun or craft glue
Instructions
Mason Jar
- Spray the exterior of the mason jar with the black spray paint. The interior can be spray painted if desired.
- Dry. The paint needs to be fully dry before beginning the next step.
- Note: I have painted mason jars with acrylic paint and spray painted mason jars. I have found the spray paint that dries quickly works much better than acrylic paint.
- Each covers a mason jar well, but the drying time of acrylic paint far exceeded the spray paint. Tips on How To Paint The Inside Of A Mason Jar are available here.
Googly Eyes
- Now let the Googly eye fun begin!
- The Googly Eyes can be applied to the mason jar with a glue gun or by removing the adhesive backing of each googly eye.
- I prefer the glue gun technique of applying the googly eyes to the jar. The self adhesive backings are not removed if applying the googly eyes with glue.
- Craft glue will work well and the self adhesive googly eyes can work IF you can quickly remove the backing from the googly eyes.
- Glue googly eyes all over the mason jar in any pattern or no pattern if desired.
- Let dry.
Notes
The Halloween Googly Eye Vase obviously takes many, many and more many googly eyes! I had a set of googly eyes where the paper did not choose to separate from the self adhesive back very easily. Frustration does not equal a fun craft! I glued those googly eyes on the mason jar.
For extra fun illuminate the Googly Eye vase! Use flameless candles to add a spoooky touch to your Halloween decor or use as part of the Halloween centerpiece.
