I started this tutorial two weeks ago but haven’t had the time to finish it. Luckily it’s a very simple and fast tutorial so it can be made withing half an hour and hopefully in time for your Halloween party. Happy Halloween!
Materials needed:
▪ mason jars in different sizes
▪ clue that’s suitable for glass and paper
▪ paper with a Halloween theme
Optional:
▪ iron wire
▪ tools to cut and bend the iron wire
Start with cutting the paper so it fits around the jar + some overlap on the back for gluing it together. Glue one side of the paper strip onto the glass, wrap the paper around the jar and glue onto the point where you started. Be sure the use the glue only on the backside of the jar, otherwise you will see the glue through the paper.
This is how simple it is, the Halloween light is already finished. As an extra option you can use the iron wire for making a hanging candle holder. Here is a good tutorial about how to make hanging jars.
Really cute and simple idea. Maybe I will try this for christmas with christmas themed paper.
Thank you! That’s a great idea. :D
Yes, I’d like to try this for Christmas as well! Maybe paint the inside of the jar red/green!
How I wish you could make a DIY for christmas. :) Christmas lantern? :P
