National Color day ...Fall

Are you ready for a little stress relief? 
Have about some coloring ! 

Here's my latest Fall  designs







Pumpkin jars DIY

 Hey Pumpkin!










  • Large Mason Jar – 1 per craft
  • Orange Tissue Paper
  • Black Tissue Paper
  • School Glue or Modge Podge
  • Craft Scissors
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Small Paper Plate
This is a fun project made with tissue paper cute in pieces and glued onto the jar. Perfect for a group project with the kids. I light mine with battery operated tea light or fairy lights.







I used recycled clean jars. Rubbed with alcohol. 

Halloween jars painted orange paint . 
Will take two coats. Paint lid green. 
Sketch out the face and paint. Add lid and green pipe cleaner twirls and leaves. 








Another thrift store find is these wine glasses that I painted to look like pumpkin with a little paint. Paint the inside of the glass with orange acrylic paint and flip over . Let dry and then with green paint ,paint the steams ,let dry and decorate. These make fun tea light holders.
