- Start by painting the outside of your jars with the orange paint and the lids with green paint. Do at least 2 coats to fully cover all the surface, drying between coats.
- With the second coat of green paint, cover the lid with the green sparkles and let dry and set aside.
- Once the jars are dry, use the permanent marker to draw jack o lantern faces and then fill in with the black paint.
- Using the permanent marker, draw leaf shapes on the felt and using the scissors cut the leaf shapes out.
- To create the curly cues, wrap the pipe cleaner around the permanent marker.
- Using the hot glue gun, glue the felt and curly cues onto the top of the center of the lid. Start with one of the felt leaves, then the curly cue and then a second leaf.
- Repeat the process until you have as many jars as needed.
