What You'll Do
First make sure that your jars are clean, dry and that the
labels have been removed.
Cut or rip orange
fabric into strips approx. 3"long and 1"wide. The don't
have to be perfect.
From the yellow fabric,
cut out eyes, noses, and mouths to put on your pumpkin faces.
Make a decoupage
mixture by putting equal amounts of water and white craft glue into
a bowl and mixing together.
Using your old paint
brush, apply some decoupage mixture to a small portion of the jar.
Place the orange fabric
on top of the glue, then apply a small amount of glue mixture on top
of the fabric, securing it to the jar.
Continue with this
process until the jar is completely covered in orange fabric.
Overlap pieces as you go so that there are no open gaps.
Apply the yellow facial
features to your pumpkins with this same method and allow to dry
completely.
When the jars are dry
and can be handled without damaging your work, measure out a piece
of black felt to fit around the mouth of the jar.
Cut out the piece of
felt and glue around the outside of the rim.
Place a tea light
candle or mini flashlight inside each jar.
