  • optional ribbon

Instructions to make this Halloween luminary jar:

  1. I am using Rust-Oleum Ultra Cover spray paint in black (I love this spray paint and use it a lot!). I am showing you a full jar of spaghetti sauce but of course I emptied it first and washed it before starting this project ;). And I am using some of my kids’ Halloween foam stickers in bat shape. Not shown is my orange Halloween spider web ribbon and a votive.

2. I applied the bat foam stickers to the outside of the empty glass jar.

3. Then I went outside with a cardboard box, my bat sticker loaded glass jar and my spray paint. In short spurts I spray painted the outside of the jar. To turn the jar around I stuck my fingers into the jar so I wouldn’t get paint on my hands.

4. I let the jar dry outside for about an hour (in the shade). Then I peeled off the bat stickers.

5. I tied a pretty ribbon around the top rim and inserted my votive.
