Kid Friendly Halloween DIY Project

A week or so ago, my sister and I had a Halloween craft day with my little niece, and this one project seemed to spark particular interest and excitement with Ollie. I thought I'd share in case anyone else was looking for a kid friendly Halloween craft:

Start with these basic supplies: a mason jar, paint brush, mod pudge, scissors, tissue paper and a battery operated candle...

Oh, and one of these cuties too :) 


Cut the tissue paper to the size of the jar then draw out the shapes you want to cut (HINT: with Olive, we did tear art so that she wasn't using scissors)




Then paint on some mod podge and start wrapping your tissue paper around the outside of the jar. Apply the glue on the jar and over the paper to seal it in. This was Ollie's favorite part...











Then comes the really spooky/fun part! Stick your battery operated candle in each jar (I wouldn't use a real candle with all the glue these bad boys have), and turn out the light!

These jars are perfect next to your pumpkin on your patio....

And one of my little freehand kitty cat...



Enjoy!!
