Celebrate Halloween with adorable DIY decorations: 10 ideas for recycling glass jars
If for Halloween you like to fill your home with themed, original and funny decorations, you can create a myriad of them by doing it yourself and making use of recycled objects. A category of objects of this kind are glass jars for preserves or jams - super-precious allies in the world of DIY.
With these jars, you can make many useful objects, such as pen holders, cutlery holders and similar. And they can be painted and decorated to match the theme of Halloween. And you can even make lanterns and other glass compositions which others will certainly admire. Check out the ideas below:
A little black paint and lots of stick-on eyes of different sizes: with minimal expense, a little time and lots of fun you will have created a very nice Halloween-styled jar, ready to use as you wish.
Could mummies be missing from Halloween? Never! So, you can create them by wrapping gauze around the jars, and then using a light inside - just like when you use them as candle holders.
Compositions under glass: the up-ended jars become dome under which enchanted and spooky scenes can be designed.
Ghosts, pumpkins and all the other symbols of Halloween, displayed in an original way!
If you are skilled at painting, you can paint black silhouettes on a colored background, perhaps even using shading! This way, you will create stylized scenes that come to life when you insert lights or candles inside the jars!
Halloween art is also made up of a recognizable color palette. And if you don't want to draw spooky shapes, you can use orange, black and purple to paint your jars with simple patterns.
However, it must be said, drawing witches, monsters and other spooky characters is always fun.
There are also stylized scarecrows, which can be recreated on recycled glass jars.
And if they are not jars, even glass containers of various sizes and types, can accommodate many versions of "scary" decorations - even filling them up with colored candies!
