Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Clean the mason jars thoroughly and let them dry.
2. Use the paintbrush to apply a base coat of acrylic paint to the outside of the jars. Black or orange work well for a Halloween theme.
3. Once the paint is dry, use white paint to create spooky designs like ghosts, bats, or pumpkins.
4. Cut out shapes from black construction paper to create designs, such as bats or spider webs, and glue them onto the jars.
5. If desired, sprinkle some glitter on the wet paint for extra sparkle.
6. Place a battery-operated tea light inside each jar.
7. Arrange the jars along your walkway or on your table for a hauntingly beautiful effect.
