One of my favorite Halloween crafts for kids of all time is this mason jar pumpkin. It’s simple to create and is so much fun for kids to light at night time.
Yesterday, while Paityn snoozed, Brady and I made a little Halloween craft. Is it just me or does the crafting bug bite us extra hard in the fall? I think it’s the combo of all the holiday’s mixed in with cooler weather and the desire to find more indoor activities.
Anywho, we made this glowing mason jar pumpkin. Pretty cool, huh? We loved watching it glow last night! Plus, if you use a flameless candle, it can double as a night light!
Per usual, this craft was easy. The supplies are listed below, but first can we stop for a second and talk about how old my baby boy looks here?
I opened this picture and almost lost my breath for a second. He looks like a little man! Stop growing, Brady. Stop it right now.
Ok, moving on…
Mason Jar Pumpkin
What you’ll need:
- Mason Jar
- Orange tissue paper
- ModPodge
- Black construction paper
- Sponge brush
How To Make A Glowing Mason Jar Pumpkin
All you do is cut the tissue paper into squares and glue it on with ModPodge. Add a little extra layer of glue on top and then add your eyes and mouth. (A nose, too, if you want.)
I drew mine on black construction paper and then cut it out. Easy peasy!
When it’s dry and the sun goes down, pop in a tea light (or flameless candles) and watch it glow.
Liz is a just a mom trying to keep it real about how little she sleeps, how often she gets puked on and how much she loves them. You can find her here every day writing about real-mom moments.

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter
a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit
the nail on the head. The issue is something which too few folks
are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something
relating to this.

I haven’t ever used mod podge. i guess my question is after halloween can i re use the mason jars by washing the tissue and mod podge off. I use the same 20 mason jars for all year round crafts. Hope I’m not offending you I would love to do this!
Kelly says
Absolutely LOVE this! Hopefully I will be able to find the time to do it with my girls as I know they will love it also. I have featured it on my website along with some other great pumpkin crafts, http://www.diythought.com/7-halloween-kids-pumpkin-arts-crafts/

Chicken Road says
Chicken Road is the definition of “easy to learn, hard to master.” One moment you’re laughing at a silly chicken, the next you’re frantically swiping to survive chaos. Cars, rivers, trains — it feels like the world is against you. Yet every failure makes you smile and press “retry.” That’s the magic of this game.
