5. Spooky Mummy Wrapped Mason Jars
This budget-friendly, kid-safe craft is a staple for cozy Halloween nights. Wrap empty glass jars haphazardly with medical gauze or cheesecloth, securing the ends with hot glue. Leave small gaps in the wrapping to glue on pairs of mismatched, bulging googly eyes that peer out from the bandages. When you place a flickering orange or yellow LED tea light inside, the light glows softly through the layers of gauze, highlighting the texture of the mummy wraps and making the eyes pop. It is a playful, endearing DIY that adds a touch of friendly fright to windowsills, bookshelves, or party tables.
