Making Decorations

This is my crafty side. I made this a few years ago. Just take an empty jar...Mason jars are great...get some primer and cover the outside in it. Let the primer dry and then paint the jar with whatever color and kind of paint you chose. I use a spray paint because it is easier. Let that dry and then paint your face on. I free-hand drew the face with a pencil and then painted it in. Finally, I bought a miniature straw hat from a craft store in my area (Michael's) and I cut a hole in the top of it, then I slipped it over the lid of the jar and, what you can't see is that there is also a tea light candle on top of the lid. It makes a cute little decoration and, for those Green people out there, it is a good way to recycle some of those jars.

Happy Halloween!
