Instructions
- Cut some small 1” x 1” squares from some sheets of tissue paper. I used a bright orange and a darker orange for some variety. To make it easier, fold your tissue paper a few times, cut a 1” strip and cut 1” squares from it.
- Using your brush, add a layer of Mod Podge onto the jar and begin laying out your tissue paper squares. Brush on a layer of Mod Podge on top of the tissue paper squares to secure it onto the mason jar. Repeat the whole process until you have covered the whole mason jar with tissue paper.
- Dry the mason jars upside down on top of some parchment paper or plastic to protect your work surface.
- Cut a pumpkin face (the one I used - two triangle eyes and a smiling mouth - template is provided if needed) and attach it to the mason jar using Mod Podge. You can also use different expressions for a custom look!
- Add a layer of Mod Podge over the pumpkin face details and leave that to dry as well.
- Cut out the paper witch hat template with a die-cutting machine, or you can trace and cut it onto a piece of black cardstock.
- Roll the triangle shape into a cone, and glue the flap under using hot glue. You may have to hold down the seam for a few moments until the hot glue dries to prevent it from unraveling.
- Fold the trapezoid shapes up on the inside of the brim, and glue those parts to the opening of the cone (make sure they are inside the cone so they are not visible).
- Now, all that’s left to do is put the witch hat on the mason jar! I used some glue dots to hold the witch hats in place as I had some remote-controlled battery tea lights, but you can forego this step,
