FUN Halloween Crafts for Kids – 3 DIY fun Halloween decorations that are fun and easy to create. Make Spooky Mason Jar Lanterns, Creepy Candles, and Ghoulish Eyeball Lamps.
I’m not a very good Pinterest Mom so my the Halloween crafts I’ve made with my kids tend to be on the simplistic (boring) side. Thankfully, our friends at TheSoul Publishing sent us these cool Halloween fun recipes courtesy of their Top 5 YouTube Channel, 5-Minute Crafts. 5-Minute Crafts make the upcoming holidays more fun for kids… and less stressful for moms like me that aren’t exactly Martha Stewart.

FUN Halloween Crafts for Kids
SPOOKY MASON JAR LANTERNS
Grab a black sharpie or other permanent magic market and some mason jars. Decorate the jars with spooky ghost faces and spiders. When you’re done decorating the jars, (safely) crack open a glow stick and (safely) pour the glow stick fluid into the bottom of the jar. Screw the lid on tight and enjoy this spooky creation for your Halloween party.
CREEPY CANDLES
Make creepy candles straight out of The Munsters. Take paper towel rolls and/or toilet paper tubes, then place a flameless LED tealight (like these) and place them on the top of the roll-tube. Then take a glue gun to secure the candle while creating a gooey glue overflow down the sides of the candle (allow drying time). Finally, spray paint tube with a shimmery gloss black shine.
GHOULISH EYEBALLS
Pour some spooky green glitter in the bottom followed by a generous amount of corn syrup and a couple of dashes of black (or dark) food coloring. Mix it into a shiny green/black pasty liquid and pour the contents into a mason jar, brandy snifter, or any ornamental bottle. Use magic markers to create some eerie eyeballs to cap off the bottle (or drop into the mason jar or snifter). Cap off the effect with some curtain string LED fairy lights (like these).
