Repurpose Jars & Bottles for Halloween Fun!

Directions

1. Take your orange bottle and sketch a spooky expression directly onto the surface using a black marker.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of Mod Podge to the exterior of one coffee syrup bottle.
3. Press a sheet of white tissue paper onto the glued surface of the first bottle, smoothing it out to remove air bubbles.
4. For the second bottle, apply Mod Podge and then adhere orange tissue paper, opting for either a single large sheet or fragmented pieces to mimic a stained-glass look.
5. After the tissue paper adheres, brush another coat of Mod Podge over the entire bottle to seal it, then allow it to cure fully.
6. Once the sealed bottles are dry, use your marker to draw distinct faces on each one.
7. For extra durability, spray the finished bottles with acrylic sealer once the marker ink has dried.
8. To create the mummy decoration, take a glass jar and attach a pair of googly eyes using hot glue.
9. Secure the end of a gauze roll to the rim of the jar with hot glue.
10. Wrap the gauze around the jar until it is covered, then trim the excess and glue the final end to the base.
11. Illuminate your creations: place a tealight or battery-operated candle inside the mummy jar, insert a 20-count strand of orange lights into the Mod Podge pumpkin, use a USB bottle light for the ghost, and attach a solar light to the orange bottle pumpkin.
