Halloween candy jar

Pin It
Hi everyone! Are you ready to start decorating for Halloween? Well here's a fun, easy, and inexpensive craft to make. A few years ago I made a candy jar but couldn't find it after we moved, so this past weekend my son and I made a new one.
I spray painted the pot, saucer, and knob then glued (with e6000) the vase onto the pot. It was a little bare so I added the ribbon, which completed the whole look. This candy jar is super simple and very inexpensive. You can find all of these items at the dollar store or local craft store.
The last time I made one I added a lot of details and glitter, this time around I wanted something simple and I actually like it a lot better. If you make one send me a link, I'd love to see your version. Thanks for stopping by!

  59. I have made these and filled them with gum balls and cut out a hole out of paper and glued on lower edge for the exit hole for the gum ball. Really fun to make. I like yours with the candy corn.

  64. Love it! Just love it. But my candy jar would not have candy corn in it because the candy corn would never make in the jar. I would snarf it first. That stuff is like crack!
