Instructions to Make DIY Mason Jar Pumpkins
STEP ONE
Gather all supplies. Remove the sticker tag from the jelly jars. Wash and dry the jars and lids. Place a dime size dollop of light orange acrylic paint and decoupage medium on a paper plate. Mix together and paint a light coat on the outside of the small jelly jar. The decoupage medium will make the paint translucent.

STEP TWO
Place a quarter size dollop of dark orange acrylic paint and decoupage medium on a paper plate. Mix together and paint a light coat on the outside of the medium jelly jar. The decoupage medium will make the paint translucent.

STEP THREE
Paint the jelly jar lids with green multi surface acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary. The lids can be top coated with decoupage medium for extra durability.

STEP FOUR
Attach wooden stems to the top center of the jelly jar lids with a glue gun and glue sticks. This bundle of wooden stems was found at the dollar store, but you could use a tree branch from the yard.

You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
STEP FIVE
Cut teardrop shaped leaves from green craft felt with scissors. Apply a dot of glue to the tip of the leaf and fold in half for added dimension.

STEP SIX
Attach the craft felt leaves to the wood stems of the pumpkins with a glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP SEVEN
Measure and cut two 8” lengths of natural jute twine. Tie the twine into bows and trim any long ends with scissors.

STEP EIGHT
To finish this pair of jelly jar pumpkins, attach the twine bows to the front center of the wood stem with a glue gun and glue sticks.

This is a really easy and fun project to make in just about 30 minutes. Add a festive treat or favorite gift card inside the pumpkins for an adorable Fall gift!
