After walking out of the store empty handed, I knew I had to make a pumpkin jar (or 6) to display in my house.

I could not stop thinking about that cute pumpkin jar. When I got home, I stepped into my craft room and saw the jars (and all of my other thrifty treasures) that I had just rescued from the thrift store. I knew they would be perfect!
I put those new/old jars, and a few other ones from my stash, to work!
How to make Pumpkin Face Treat Jars
These jars are so simple. You can probably find everything you need to make them without going to the store.
- Glass jars in various sizes and shapes. Bonus points for vintage, but new mason jars would work just fine too.
- Black removable vinyl
- pencil and scissors
Steps for making a pumpkin jar
- With a pencil, draw a pumpkin face on the paper backing of the vinyl. If you've ever carved a pumpkin with a jack-o-lantern face, then you can easily draw faces. Google pumpkin faces to get ideas, if needed.
- Cut out the face pieces and stick onto jars.
If you don't want to cut your own vinyl, you could use pumpkin face sticker sheets from Hobby Lobby.
- Fill jars with candy or other jar fillers. Colored rice would be so cute. I think I'll be whipping up an orange and black batch.
- I filled the jars with cream pumpkins and candy corn. No one really likes them (except me) so the jars will stay filled. When it gets closer to Halloween, I'll probably add other candy.
I made several jars and placed them all together on my farmhouse shelving unit.
