ahh. mason jars.
chances are if you are reading this,
you love mason jars as much as i do.
i have about a million of them lying around.
so i wanted to do some sorta mason jar halloween thing and nothing original came to mind seeing there are about a gajillion halloween jars in blogland already.
so i compromised and made these pumpkins instead.
yup i carved the mason jars instead.
and each pumpkin only took me about 15 minutes.
easy peasy.
sorry no pattern for the jar-i just drew it freehand. but it's better i think, to have the jars look different anyway.
i got the eyeball candy at dollar tree too but one bag was not enough to fill the pumpkin.
so i used the kisses i already had to fill it up.
i colored the lid as shown to give it more interest. and to look more halloweenish cuz i don't think witches have nice clean mason jars with nice clean lids lying around.
then i made 2 more.
any kind of candy will work for these pumpkins, this is just what i had on hand at 10:45pm when i started these (yikes!).
just let loose and be creative and before you know it you'll have a whole slew of ingredients to make your witch's brew.
okie dokie, good luck with that!
Wow! Really cute! I love Mason jars too. Those giant eyeballs peeking out of that pumpkin are great! Very spooky!
ReplyDeletethat's my favorite one too J! i wish i had better candy at the time i made these for the post like candy tongues and gummy frogs but thta's what happens when you craft after the stores close at night! lol :>O
