Mason Jar Halloween Craft: Mummies and Frankenstein

I mentioned last weekend my daughter and I put together a fun Halloween craft Horror House we picked up at Michael’s. While we were out we picked up a few other crafts that we found while searching for fun Halloween crafts. We’ve decided to do one Halloween craft each weekend. This weekend we made a mason jar Halloween craft.

They are simple to make, and they last years to enjoy each Halloween. These are a fun addition to your Halloween decoration stash.

My daughter just loved how easy this craft was and how we were able to do it together. I took a small video showing you how the lights flicker and bring the jars to life.

For more Halloween inspiration I have created a fun Boo-tackular Day Amazon board for all your Halloween needs.
