Ghosts in Mason Jars – Halloween Craft Ideas with Mason Jars. 

Ghosts in Mason Jars Halloween Craft Ideas with Mason Jars

Ghosts in mason jars.  That’s the title I decided on in the end …

 

but there were so many, many ideas to choose from.

 

Seriously.  I wasn’t sure what to call these …

 

Halloween globes?  Mason jar ghost terrariums?  Halloween dioramas … in a jar?

 

Boo Ball Jars …

 

… and I know you’re reading this Miss Bliss.  And I know – I KNOW — where you head is going.  So try to keep it clean in the comments thread, okay?  And that holds true for you too Kirby!  Smile

 

You two “ladies” might want to take a lesson from Andrea … Winking smile

 

I digress.  Back to the project at hand.  When I saw these …

 

Ghosts in a cloche …

 

or is it under a cloche?

 

All I know is those cloched ghosts sparked an idea.  An idea that put ghosts in mason jars.  Like a snow globe.  But for Halloween.  Without the snow …

 

How To Make A Ghosts In A MASON Jars Halloween Globe

 

Ghosts in Mason Jars - Halloween Craft Ideas for Kids

 

I started with my supplies …

1. Ball Canning Mason Jars in pint– and quart-sizes.  Check.

2. Styrofoam balls and disks from the dollar store.  Check.

3. Spanish Moss from the dollar store. Check.

4. Sharpie. Check.

5. Twigs from yard. Check.

6. Gauze from First Aid Kit. Check.

Trace outline from inside of mason jar lid onto Styrofoam disk.  I used a pen and pushed hard.  Don’t worry. It doesn’t need to be perfect.  It’ll be covered up …

Cut it out.  Oh, and it’s messy …

      Use an exacto knife to cut out, the messy to cut out piece. Works so much easier, not messy. BE FULL OF CARE!!!

    Thanks for the shout out to the Ghosts in a Cloche (is it “under” a cloche? I’m not sure). Your version is super-cute, too!

    I have a deep, dark, closet under the steps in my 100+ year old house. I have a warped sense of what is funny, usually things that scare the crap out of people, especially my kids, and now grandkids. I have been secretly working on a witch-warlock spell work bench since summer of 2013, collecting dead bugs, mouse carcasses, items to turn into scales from a sleeping dragon, rot from beneath a troll’s toes, breath of fairies who breath no more, and such.
    How fun would it be to have these ghosts glow in the dark? Yep, gonna add this to the spell work bench. Once I create names for everything, I am going to list them and ask friends to create spells for a spell book.
    I have a low hanging rod in the closet for the kids dress up clothes, with hooks for hats, a trunk for shoes, purses, etc. and other dress-up, play house items at the half-way point of the closet. I am going to move the trunk further back, so they need to go all the way into the closet. The older kids can read and are totally into Harry Potter…I have not completely hatched my plan…but, oh when I do! Thank you for the ghost idea…now, to make it glow in the dark!
