This easy craft transforms mason jars into spooky lanterns. Paint them with glow-in-the-dark paint, add bat silhouettes, and light them up for a haunting glow that's perfect for Halloween decor.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Start with a clean mason jar; remove any labels and wash it thoroughly.
  2. Apply a coat of glow-in-the-dark paint to the outside of the jar, covering it evenly. Let it dry completely.
  3. Cut bat shapes out of black construction paper. You can draw the bats freehand or use a template.
  4. Use Mod Podge to attach the paper bats to the painted jar. Press them down and smooth out any bubbles.
  5. Place a tea light candle inside the jar. For safety, use a battery-operated tea light if you plan to display it near anything flammable.
