I always liked lots of little things displayed together in…bigger things. Dioramas, shadowboxes, jars…they’re neat! I bought myself & my cousin each a jar from a personal art sale down in the mountains of NY over the summer, & I decided to experiment with a jar of my own. Since Halloween was approaching at the time, I made a little Halloween art jar!
Easy Assembly
I used lots of Dollar Tree items, including : a jar, black gravel, orange confetti, Halloween stickers, Mod Podge, & a fake tealight candle. I also painted a rock from the creek on my aunt’s vacation property & turned him into a ghost. I didn’t glue down the gravel because I didn’t want to risk being able to see the glue, & I just set everything together on top of it. That way, it can always be fixed or changed. I Mod Podged some fabric onto the lid, screwed it on tight, & wrapped some ribbon around it. It was a lot of fun to make!
A Little Something Extra…
I also tied a friendship bracelet around the lid to attach the gift tag I’d made (not really shown). My aunt appreciated the amount of work that went into the whole thing. While I was working on the tag, I decided to make an ATC (Artist Trading Card) to match :
