Jack-O-Lantern Mason Jar Luminary Craft Idea

Hi friends! I’m so glad you landed on today’s Mason Jar Jack-O-Lantern kid craft tutorial.

As you may know my now, I love doing {and sharing} the crafts that I’ve done with my son. That is really becoming my focus as of late on Glued To My Crafts.

It keeps him busy, while I get that crafty fix in at the same time.

Not to mention, I don’t feel so guilty when I buy tons of craft supplies. Because “heck” it’s going to be used for my son 😉 {Dear husband…take note!}

Although today’s Halloween craft tutorial was geared towards my son – adults can do it too! These glass mason jar jack-o-lanterns would make great decorations for a Halloween party, as a vase or on a porch Halloween night. PLUS you can save them for the following year or gift them with leftover Halloween candy in them.

And if you have been saving a million empty glass jars and orange tissue paper throughout the year – you are my friend – are on your way to some cute, but affordable decorations.

Keep scrolling for the FULL how-to Mason Jar Jack-O-Lantern tutorial! Then come share pictures of your child’s creations with us on our Facebook page. I can’t wait to see what they come up with! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Our Mason Jar and Tissue Paper Jack-O-Lantern is super easy and fun for all ages. If you change out the colors of the tissue paper, you can make different characters, as well! White tissue paper for a mummy or green for Frankenstein.

Not to mention, for Christmas, you can make a snowman or Santa Clause this way.

Bet you wished you saved some of those empty glass jars, right? #gluedtomycrafts
