I would love to claim I came up with the candy corn mason jar idea …
but, alas, I did not.
I found my inspiration here. Along with an excellent how to …
and is it okay that I love these candy corn mason jars so much more than the candy corn candy that inspired this project?
How to Make Candy Corn Mason Jars
1. Spray paint jars white
Let dry.
2. Spray paint band of orange in center.
Let dry.
3. Spray paint yellow on bottom half.
When I spray painted the orange band and the yellow bottom band, I held the jar in my hand. Away from my body. And rotated the jar around as I shook the can frequently …
It’s a shake shake shake. Then spray while moving the can fluidly to the left. A shake shake shake. Then spray while moving the can fluidly to the right …
Rinse. Repeat.

I am going to make some of these – to darn stinkin cute!! And like Andrea said, no tooth ache or empty calories lol 🙂
Love these!
Question: your last instruction “Rinse. Repeat” Are you actually waiting for the last color to dry and then rinsing and repeating the whole process?
Thanks!
These are some of my favorites, and not sure why, it’s not like candy corn are my fav candy.
Love this idea, Linda! Thanks for the tutorial.
why are painted mason jars just so friggin cute!
How fun is this. Love it. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
These are so cute and easy. I’ve been looking for fall decor and these are definitely a winner. Thanks! http://talenttoplay.blogspot.com
Thank you for sharing! I tried to make these using Krylon gloss spray paint and I cannot get the paint to do what I want it to do. It separates and bubbles. I tried cleaning the jars with rubbing alcohol thinking there was residue on them but nothing, still happens… Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
This is about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! I just got three old jars at a thrift store the other day for 50 cents each. Now I think I know their destiny. Thanks! -Dawn @ We Call It Junkin
Ah, I’m getting ready to do the same with wine bottles but it seems like jars would work better. Maybe stick a candle in them for a little candy corn glow. Thanks for sharing!

Love these, Linda and am featuring on my fb page and pinning. You’re one of my top 3 favorites at our Home{work} Wednesday link party!
LOVE! This is very creative and yummy looking. 😛 Now I am hungry for some candy corn. Ha!
awesome tutorial. I saw these on pinterest but wasn’t sure how to make them!
Do you sell these on Etsy?
Yes! Finally someone writes about vernice da carrozziere prezzo.
Good
Absolutely AWESOME. Great idea to use the spray and old jars. Great decoration 🙂
Question: Do you rinse the jars after you put the first coat of the 3 colors?
Love this! I’m really curious about the black roses as well. Are they real or did you DIY these?
They are actually fake flowers that I spray painted with black spray paint!
great thanks!
I love these jars! I’m going to get some more spray paint!!
Simple yet awesome!! Thanks for sharing your technique!
Love this idea, Linda! Thanks for the tutorial, Thanks for sharing your technique!
I have a lot of trouble with the whole Santa Claus/Easter Bunny thing – my wife does it all (kind of hade-heartflly though) and I just watch. I just can't bring myself to lie to my kids, even if it is fun. I don't know why!
