Get ready for a simple and budget-friendly new Halloween project with these fun and colorful Halloween jars! They're super easy to make and totally festive! Click To Tweet

For the past month, I’ve been basically stalking the Dollar Trees in my area hoping to find some of those glittery branches they have every year. While I haven’t seen those in store yet, I have found a ton of other inspiring items. I mean, do you ever leave the dollar store without buying at least a couple of items?

Lucky for you, my loss is your gain because it means tons of awesome new Halloween projects like these easy-to-make colorful Halloween jars. They are so much fun and totally fit with the fun and non-spooky theme I’m loving this year. Even better, the only items you have don’t already have in your craft stash are the napkins and possibly the cylinder vase making the entire craft only 2 bucks! I can’t think of a better deal than that!

Don’t worry. I’m going to keep hunting those sparkly branches, because I have a super fun idea for them. Until then, enjoy this latest craft project for your Halloween decor!

Then measure it around your vase and fold the excess so that there is a slight overlap at the ends.

Step 7

Further secure the napkin to the vase by covering the outside of the napkin with another coat of Mod Podge. Set your vase aside to dry.

Note:

  • Wipe away any excess Mod Podge from the top and bottom edges.

 

Frankenstein Cut from Halloween Napkin

Step 8

Next, cut out only the vampire from a napkin. Keep as close to the outline as possible when cutting.

Note:

  • After you cut him out, go back and trim any excess that is outside of his outline.

Step 10

Again, go over the vampire with a second coat of Mod Podge and set the jar aside to dry.

 

Bat and Ghost Cut From Halloween Napkin

Step 11

Lastly, cut out the ghost and bat from the same napkin that you cut your vampire from. Again, make sure that you trim all that extra orange from around the edges.

Once your fun and colorful Halloween jars are dry, put some electric tealights in and use them as luminaries in a vignette on your mantle for the season. You can also fill them with candy and flowers (as I did) to create a festive and practical centerpiece for your dining table. No matter which you choose, you’ll have some easy and inexpensive new Halloween decor to display through October!
