Here’s what you’ll need to make this Halloween Craft…
- 16 oz. Mason Jar (if you have kids, plastic is preferred)
- 3-inch styrofoam balls
- low temp glue gun with glue sticks
- miniature Halloween or Fall Display Accessories – I found mine at Michael’s Craft Store, but you could get some off of Amazon at your local craft store, like Hobby Lobby
- *I used a black glitter twig from Michael’s Craft Store for the tree
- *The ghosts are little torn corners of white coffee filters
- Spider web
- Black Sharpie
Instructions for this Mason Jar Halloween Scene Display…
- Cut the styrofoam ball in half
- Unscrew the mason jar and flip the lid over
- Glue the ball to the lid of the mason jar, so the flat side was facing up
- Use a Sharpie to color the styrofoam ball black (at least the top half that will be visible)
- *If doing a fall display, you might want to choose another color to color the ball – like brown, yellow or even green for the ground
Decorating the styrofoam…
- If you are doing a haunted tree, trim a small portion from your black twig that will resemble a tree in your jar. Push the end of the twig into the stryofoam to stablilize the haunted tree and decorate it with bats, spiders, spider web, and/or ghosts
- Add other accessories to the top of the styrofoam ball and glue down – graves, black cats, jack-o-lanterns, bats, spiders, and skeletons are all great ideas
- The Ghosts I Made – are ripped pieces of a coffee filter folded over with a sharpie used for the ghost face
- Spider web stretched across the display add another display of creepy
Finally…
- Place the glass or plastic jar over the display and screw the lid on tight
- That’s it!
Happy Halloween
