Glittered Candy Corn Mason Jar

How to Make a Glittered Candy Corn Mason Jar with Perfect Paint Lines

Jars are one of my favorite things to upcycle because they are free, that is, if you buy the sauce. This is why I thought about making this Candy Corn Mason Jar. I have upcycled so many Mason jars like:

  • DIY Mason Jar Terrarium with Succulents
  • Mason Jar Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
  • Recycled Jar Utensil Holders with Printable
  • DIY Outdoor Mason Jar Chandelier

The candy corn candies were my inspiration for this project. 

Candy Corn Glittered Mason Jar DIY

Even though I don’t care to eat them, I always thought that there was something whimsical about the colors.  It reminds me of Halloween, but it’s not scary or frightening.  So, I decided to make a glittered candy corn Mason jar.

Here’s What You Need for this Candy Corn Mason Jar

The materials list below contains affiliate links for products that I recommend for this project.

Materials:

  • Martha Stewart Glitter in white, orange, and gold
  • Glass jar
  • Martha Stewart white glue or decoupage glue
  • Paint brush
  • Painter’s tape or masking tape
  • Newspaper or paper (to protect your surface and catch the glitter)

Getting Perfect Lines

Start with the center orange stripe to save time.  I knew once that the orange was dry; I would be able to apply both the gold and white without waiting for one to dry.  Using painter’s tape, I taped of my center stripe and then covered the entire center with glue using the paint brush. I sprinkled the glitter all the way around the jar.  Tap off the excess glitter and put it back in your container.

Glitter Craft Idea with Mason Jars

While the glue was still wet, I pulled off the painter’s tape. I allowed it to dry completely.

Crafting with Glitter

Next, I taped off the lower half of the orange stripe to begin glittering the gold stripe using the same technique above.

Remove the tape while it is still wet.

How to Use Glittered Spray Paint

Repeat the process for the final white stripe.

Once the glue was dry, I gave the vase a light tap over the garbage can to remove any excess glitter. Then, I added water and fresh flowers!

I loved how it turned out.  I think these would make a great homemade hostess gift during all those parties over the holidays!

    I LOVE this idea! While I don’t like to eat candy corn, it certainly says Halloween better than almost any other candy. 🙂 And I save all my jars too. They are so useful!

    I’m dropping by from the Crowned Goat link party. This is such a fun idea — and easy to do. I love it.

    I have a link party that I am trying to grow. I invite you to share this idea — and a couple of others — at my Grandma Ideas Sharing Time link party at http://grandmaideas.com. I think my readers would love this idea as much as I do.

    The party goes from Wednesday through Friday night at midnight Mountain Daylight Time in the U.S. I hope to see you there. (If you don’t make it this week, I hope you can next week.)

    All the best,
    Nina
