Mason Jar Jack-o-Lanterns!

I posted a picture of these jack-o-lanterns yesterday and thought I'd share how I made them!



Have I mentioned my absolute love of all things mason jars? I'm not sure there is a room in this house where you won't find one for some use or another!



These particular jars are painted from the inside with glass acrylic paint, found at your neighborhood craft store. You have to "bake" it to set it, and it's totally fine since these jars tolerate heat so well! When you are done painting the outside, use black paint on the outside to paint your jack-o-lantern faces! They make GREAT luminaries, just leave the seal top off and screw on the rim. They hold votive candles nicely and give a great glow just in time for Halloween!
