Can you believe October is here? I know I can’t. I had a minor freak out when I realized I had done nothing to prepare for Halloween….no costumes purchased, no decorations out, nada. So after a quick trip to the online costume shop I decided to whip up some super cute DIY Candy Corn Mason Jars.

I started out with some regular pint mason jars.

Then I used some white chalk paint to paint the entire jars. It took a couple coats for good coverage.

I searched my local craft stores for a good yellow and orange chalk paint but I couldn’t find anything I liked, so I just grabbed some regular ole craft paint. I used frog tape to tape off my lines, I’m horrible at free handing straight lines.

After I had all the paint on there and dried, I distressed the mason jars. I used a sanding block and focused on the raised spots on the jars. I also added a clear coat to protect the paint.

These Candy Corn Mason Jars turned out so stinkin cute!!! I’m going to fill them up with some Halloween candy and give them as teacher gifts.

I’m a sucker for a good mason jar project! What mason jar projects have you fallen in love with???
