🎃 Two Ways to Make Magical Pumpkin Jars

Looking for a cozy fall craft that’s kid-friendly, glow-tastic, and perfect for your porch or playroom? I’ve got two creative takes on pumpkin jar lights that are easy to make and even easier to love.

✨ Option 1: Tissue Paper Pumpkin Jar   This version uses orange tissue paper, black cutouts, and a battery tea light to create a soft, flickering glow—perfect for little hands and big imaginations. (Instructions below!)

🌟 Option 2: Glow-in-the-Dark Pumpkin Jar   Want something with a little extra sparkle? Check out this Glow-in-the-Dark Pumpkin Jar tutorial from Easy DIY Crafts. It uses glow paint, glitter, and fairy lights to create a reusable Halloween masterpiece.

Whether you go for classic charm or glowing glam, both crafts are simple, safe, and sure to light up your fall season. 🍂
