Zombie Mason Jars

Just when I thought the blogging and crafting world had exhausted every way a mason jar can be used for Halloween crafts … my daughter handed me this brilliant idea. Zombie mason jars!

 

I was washing off some acrylic paint from a jar in the kitchen sink and my daughter commented that it looked like a zombie the way the paint was peeling away from the jar. And then that got me thinking …

… why not create some cute Zombie mason jars for Halloween?

 

I started by painting the interiors of the jars with red acrylic paint.

Let them dry upside down so any extra paint can drip out.

 

Then I gave the exteriors a coat of Zombie gray (just making up that paint color name; it’s just gray acrylic paint).

The I pulled out the sandpaper and started ‘peeling’ away some of the gray to expose the red.

I added some google eyes.

And they were cute enough just like that. But I decided to add a few bandages.

And voila! Zombie mason jars.

I like to think of this next shot as my “Walking Dead” zombie jars …

    Hi there
    Can you tell me if you sealed the paint? Can these be used as a vase? Can they be washed?
    thanks you!

      Since I painted the insides of these, you can’t put water in them. But you could put a small cup inside with water for the flowers. And, no, you can’t wash them. But if you seal with a clear coat matte spray (you can find at craft stores) then you can wipe down. But since this is acrylic paint on glass, it will never be permanent. So you can wipe down with damp cloth but you can’t submerge in water. You need to be careful or the paint can peel away.

      Hope that helps! 🙂 Linda
