Create spooky Glow-in-the-Dark Pumpkin Jars that light up your Halloween nights with a magical glow.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 clear mason jar with lid (any size)
- Glow-in-the-dark paint (orange, green, purple, or white)
- Black acrylic paint or permanent marker (for pumpkin faces)
- Paintbrushes (flat and fine tips)
- LED tea lights or fairy lights (for extra glow)
- Optional: glitter for sparkle
- Paper towels for cleanup
Instructions
- Wash and dry the jar thoroughly. Remove any labels for a clean surface.
- Paint the inside or outside of the jar with glow-in-the-dark paint, applying 2–3 layers for brighter results. Let each coat dry before adding another.
- Use black paint or a permanent marker to draw a jack-o’-lantern face on the outside of the jar.
- Sprinkle in glitter while the paint is still wet for a shimmering glow effect.
- Place a battery-operated LED tea light or fairy lights inside. Charge the paint under a bright light or sunlight, then watch your jar glow at night!
Notes
- For best results, use different colors of glow-in-the-dark paint for a fun effect.
- Make sure the jar is completely dry before placing any lights inside.
- These jars can be reused every Halloween!
