Spooky Halloween Jars

This project is exactly why I’ve started to keep hoard empty jars around. I’ve always favored a good Mason Jar but now I’m becoming really fond of any jars. Salsa, jelly, spaghetti sauce… they all can be a good up-cycle.
How to make a Ghost Slime Jar
- Squeeze paint into the bottom of a jar.
- Tilt the jar around to move the paint along the sides.
- Turn the jar upside down.
- Let the paint do it’s dripping magic.
You might need to assist the paint a little with some jar tapping and rotating depending on the look you want. This project is like watching paint dry…literately!
For the the Spooky Jar ids, I covered them with wood grain washi tape. Just adhere the tape on to the lid and wrap it around until all the metal is covered. Makes for an awesome faux finish, right?
After I used Print & Cut for the labels, I distressed them with ink, added black Candy Dots and adhered them on to the front of jars.
I have to give credit to my kiddos for coming up with the jars names too. I couldn’t think of anything creative. I showed my kids the blank jars and they thought of something in like 2 secs. Freaky.
