Ingredients
Materials
- 1 jar Clear glass jars (mason jars or empty food jars) Use as many jars as desired for multiple ghost designs.
- 1 bottle White glow-in-the-dark paint Ensure it's suitable for glass.
- 1 sheet Black construction paper or cardstock Used for creating ghost faces.
- 1 tube Glue or double-sided tape For attaching face cut-outs.
- 1 item Paintbrush or sponge For applying paint.
- 1 pair Scissors Needed for cutting shapes.
- optional LED tealights For extra spooky effect inside jars.
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by cleaning your glass jars thoroughly. Ensure they are dry before using them.
- Using your paintbrush or sponge, carefully apply a layer of glow-in-the-dark paint to the inside of the jars.
- While the paint dries, cut out ghostly eyes and mouths from the black construction paper.
- Once the interior paint is dry, use glue or double-sided tape to attach the cut-out faces to the outside of the jars.
- For extra spookiness, place an LED tealight inside each jar to add a flickering glow when it's dark.
Notes
Customize your ghost jars with different shades of glow-in-the-dark paint and vary jar shapes for diverse designs. Seal the jars with a clear outdoor spray for outdoor use. Wipe the exterior gently with a damp cloth to preserve the designs.
