1. DIY Mason Jar Lanterns

Mason jar lanterns are a simple, versatile way to add a spooky glow to your Halloween décor. They can be customized with creepy faces, colors, or lighting effects.

Steps to create mason jar lanterns:

  • Gather mason jars, black paper, paint, or permanent markers.
  • Draw or paint ghostly, pumpkin, or skull faces on the jars.
  • Place LED tea lights or battery-operated candles inside.
  • Optional: add colored cellophane or tissue paper for an eerie glow.

These lanterns are perfect for entryways, mantels, or window sills and provide a safe, kid-friendly alternative to traditional candles.
