The jars are canning/mason jars that were chipped or otherwise unusable for food and canning.
I have a picture painted on the front and back of each jar! Great for center pieces on a long table!
I used orange acrylic paint on the insides of the jars. I should have used thinner in the paint, however, because it was so thick it took several days to dry. Also, if the paint was thinner, I could put little tea lights inside and make it glow like pumpkin lanterns!
For the black paintings on the outside, I used some random paint I had around the house leftover from other projects - in this case it was model paint; oil-based, clean with turpentine. It worked perfectly! Because it was oil, however, I did have to wait a couple days between painting the front of the jar and the back of the jar.
I used the design pages for carving pumpkins for my picture inspirations.
Then I cut out some 7x7 inch halloween fabric and screwed the canning ring over it!
Last of all, I made two table cloths. The purple pumpkin one is square to fit this fold up card table, and the orange cats/bats one is 6 ft long to fit my kitchen table.
This project was very fun and I definitely recommend it!
