This Halloween candy jar project turns a terra cotta pot, saucer, and wooden knob into a festive treat holder. After painting and assembling the pieces, you fill the jar with candy and add a ribbon for decoration. It’s a quick and fun way to display sweets for trick-or-treaters.

Directions

Apply paint to the exterior of the terra cotta pot, saucer, and wooden knob. You can choose between standard craft paint or spray paint (I’m working with a gloss spray variant). Be careful to avoid painting the lid’s interior, as it will touch the candy; you can cover it with tape to keep it clean. Wait until the paint is fully dry before moving on.

Attach the glass jar to the terra cotta pot using E6000 or another heavy-duty adhesive. Set a heavy book on top and allow the glue to cure for a minimum of 8 hours.

Use hot glue to fasten the wooden knob onto the saucer.

Put candy into the jar and then add decorative ribbon.
