3. Mummy Mason Jar Luminaries
These giggly mummy jars are the friendliest monsters here — ideal when little kids are part of your Halloween. Wrapped in gauze with oversized googly eyes, they glow warmly with a tea light inside.
Line them along a walkway, group them on a porch step, or use them as party centerpieces. Each takes about ten minutes once you find your wrapping rhythm.
What You’ll Need
- Mason jars or any clear glass jars
- Rolled gauze or white crepe paper streamers
- Large googly eyes
- Hot glue gun
- Battery-operated tea lights
How to Make
- Wrap gauze loosely around each jar, leaving a small gap near the top.
- Secure the end with a dab of hot glue.
- Glue two googly eyes onto the gap so they peek through the wrapping.
- Drop a battery tea light inside each jar.
- Display after dark and watch them glow.
