Welcome to day 27 of 31 Awesome Fall Activities With Your Kids.  Today we are going to show you How to Make a DIY Cute Pumpkin Jar.  This craft is super simple, you will only need a canning jar with cover and lid, acrylic paint, paint brushes, a hot glue gun, and a wine cork.  These were all things this crafty, wine drinking momma had on hand. I love creating simple crafts with my daughter that we can display in our home.  Halloween and Fall are a great time to get creative.

What your child will learn

• Creativity
• Fine Motor skills
• Painting with small paint brushes

Supplies

• Mason jar with lid and top
• Acrylic paint: orange, green, and black
• Wine Cork
• Hot Glue Gun

Instructions

• First, paint your jar orange.  Set it aside to let it dry.  Depending on the paint you use, you may need another coat of pain.
• Paint your lid and top green.  Set them aside to dry and add a 2nd layer if needed.
• Paint your desired face on the jar with the black paint

• Hot glue the wine cork on top once the paint has dried.

Display your cute pumpkin jar.  Put a tea light (battery operated) on the inside to make a luminary pumpkin jar.  Put some candy in it and give it as a gift, or just use it as a candy display for yourself.

This is a super easy pumpkin mason jar craft that your kids will love making.  My daughter really liked when I used the tea light to light up her pumpkin face.

Conclusion

I hope you try this craft with your kids, or just for yourself.  It works up quickly and easily and makes a great decoration for Fall and Halloween.
