This DIY uses painted craft jars and a black wood plank as a base. After wrapping jars in creepy cloth and trimming lids with ribbon, glue them onto the plank and embellish with glittery Halloween accents for a festive table display.

You'll need

Directions

  1. Give your craft jars a fresh white coat of paint and paint the wood plank black. Let both dry completely.
  2. Measure around each jar to find its circumference, then cut enough creepy cloth to wrap around with a bit of overhang.
  3. Attach the creepy cloth to the jars by running a line of glue down the back center and pressing both sides of the fabric onto the jar.
  4. Cut pieces of thin black glitter ribbon long enough to go around each jar lid, then glue them onto the lids.
  5. Arrange the jars on the black wood plank in a centered row. When you're happy with the spacing, carefully tilt each jar and add glue to its bottom before pressing it in place.
  6. Finish by gluing on your chosen accents, such as glitter bats, a Halloween metal word, or glitter skulls.
