Painted Witch Hat Mason Jar – Halloween Craft Ideas with Mason Jars.
Yes, I’m really going there …
Halloween mason jar crafts during the first week of August!
If you think I’m nuts, you’re not alone. My son thought I might be jumping the gun on this one.
He (and you) might be right.
But in years past I always seemed to be so behind the curve, having the audacity of publishing Halloween-themed mason jar crafts in October.
Gasp!
But this year I’m ahead of the curve …
waaaaaay ahead …
with my painted witch hat mason jar craft!
So if you, too, are feeling a little Halloweeny, I’ve put together a tutorial for you (oh, and the video tutorial includes a little Halloweeny music to get you in the mood!) …

Great project! I love this and it is always a good time to get ready for Halloween! Helps to avoid the last minute rush! 😉
I love these! I have a few canning jars with hairline cracks, and they cannot be used for canning. This would be a great craft for those! Thanks for sharing.
Soo adorable!
