When I saw this idea combining three of my favorite things (canning jars, pumpkins, and Halloween), I knew we had to make jar jack-o-lanterns.
I dug out a stash of not-acceptable-for-canning jars (ones without a brand name) and our acrylic paints.
Lil, her friend, and I each painted three jars in shades of orange. The girls played while I painted the top black and let them dry. About an hour later, we painted black faces over the orange.
Lil lined up our jar jack-o-lanterns as the sun set. Tea light candles brought the scary and sweet faces to life.
