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.

Pumpkin Spice Dump Cake

 



It's slow cooking time : 

2 cans pumpkin puree (15 oz) 

1 1/2 C sugar

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/2 tsp salt

1 box of yellow cake mix

1 stick of butter

1/2 C chopped pecans

1 C heavy cream

1/4 C confectioner sugar 

  1. Spray the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
  2. Gently combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a bowl, then dump it into the slow cooker insert. Sprinkle the cake mix over the pumpkin puree, then, as evenly as possible, pour the melted butter on top and finish with the chopped pecans. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 4 1/2 hours (the edges of the cake should be starting to brown and crisp slightly).
  3. Meanwhile, using a handheld mixer, whip the cream and confectioners' sugar together in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Serve the cake warm with a dollop of the whipped cream.
