Today I am sharing a very simple Halloween craft using washi tape and mason jars. As soon as I got up this morning, I knew I was finally going to do something with that Halloween washi tape I picked up at Michaels a few weeks ago.
At first I thought I was going to make some Halloween cards, but soon found myself grabbing some jars out of the cupboard.
Last week I was feeling really sick with a sinus infection. Yesterday was the first day that I was feeling better, so I baked a delicious apple butter snack cake with cream cheese frosting. (Recipe coming to the blog soon!)
Today I am crafting, so I must really be getting better. This weekend I have to spend some serious time getting caught up on some work.
I really don’t have a tutorial for this washi tape Halloween mason jar craft. You don’t really need one, after seeing the pictures for inspiration.
All you will need is a mason jar, washi tape, googly eyes, black marker, craft glue and some scissors. For the Frankenstein jar, I cut some slits into the bottom of a piece of tape to give the illusion of hair. He’s my favorite. I think he came out pretty cute!
After making these, I wasted about 30 minutes looking for some orange and white paper straws, that I never did find. Lately it seems like I spend half of my day looking for things. I guess that’s a sign to get my office and craft room better organized…. maybe tomorrow.
What’s great about this washi tape craft, is that after Halloween I can easily tear it off and use the mason jars for something else!
What are you working on for Halloween?

October 25, 2014 at 11:58 AMI have heard a lot about washi tape lately but have yet to play with it on my own. This cute craft looks like a great starting point, especially since it is easy enough for the true un-crafty type like myself.
