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. 🍂



🎃 Glow-in-the-Dark Pumpkin Jar  

A cozy craft that doubles as a nightlight!


Materials:

  • Small mason jar or recycled glass jar

  • Orange tissue paper or paint

  • Mod Podge or school glue

  • Black construction paper (for jack-o'-lantern face)

  • Battery-operated tea light

  • Optional: glitter, googly eyes, ribbon

Steps:

  1. Tear orange tissue paper into small pieces and glue them all over the outside of the jar. Let dry.

  2. Cut out jack-o'-lantern face shapes from black paper and glue them on.

  3. Add glitter or googly eyes for extra flair.

  4. Place a battery tea light inside and watch it glow!

Why it works:

  • No carving, no mess

  • Safe for little hands

  • Great for fall decor or bedtime glow

  • Easy to photograph and share
