Scarecrow Candy Jar
The key to keeping the paint from scratching off these jars is preparation from cleaning to removing oils and sealing it.
You will need:
- Smooth glass jar with a lid
- Raffia and/or twine
- Tan craft
- Paint Pens/Markers
- Waterproof Mod Podge
- Burlap ribbon
- Flowers or mini pumpkins
You can use any kind of jar that has smooth sides, like a spaghetti jar, smooth mason, jar, and empty garlic jar.
The jars I’m using today are glass Oui yogurt jars that have been cleaned.
I also found lids that fit tightly on them here.
If your jar has label residue on it you can use something like goo gone or just lemon essential oil to soak it in for 10 minutes then scrub it off.
Wipe down the outside of the jar well with rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt or oil.
Once dry paint with one coat of waterproof Mod Podge.
Paint 1 to 2 coats of straw-colored paint all over the outside of the jar, drying between coats.
Now. give your scarecrows a little hair.
You can either use raffia or twine.
Both work great and I did one of each to show you how they look.
For short hair cut bits of raffia and glue around the edge beneath the lid where it won’t interfere with it closing.
For long braids, braid lengths of twine.
Then glue it to the jar, again making sure it doesn’t impede the lid.
Once all your layers of paint dry, use paint pens to draw on the eyes, nose, mouth, and any other accents like patches, you might like.
Typically scarecrows are hand-sewn with burlap and fabrics so add little “stitches” to the features to give it an authentic scarecrow look.
If your jar has a screw-on lid you will want to prep and paint it to blend in or look like a hat.
Seal it with a coat of waterproof Mod Podge or clear sealing spray and protect the inside since that is where food will be kept.
Add a bow with a piece of burlap ribbon to the jar or the edge of the lid.
You can also add flowers, small pumpkins, or other small decorative pieces with hot glue to add a little more color and personality.
Or a little bowtie at the base.
Fill with candy and replace the lid.
