Use upcycled mason jars and fabric to make these DIY Halloween lanterns. These simple lanterns will be sure to impress! They’re an easy way to decorate your home, garden, or porch for Halloween, or use them as centerpieces to create a spooky tablescape.
For someone that doesn’t like Halloween I sure do make a lot of Halloween crafts! The kids and I made these ghost lollipops and I made this spooky Halloween tray to hold all of my spooky decor. I thought these Halloween lanterns would be the perfect addition to our decor.

DIY Halloween Lanterns
To start, clean and wash your mason jars, you won’t need the lids. Measure how much fabric you need to cover your jar and cut to size.
Start gluing the fabric around the jar using Mod Podge. Use as much glue as you need because the glue dries with a slight matte haze, which adds the perfect touch to the Halloween lanterns.
Once your jars are wrapped, add more glue where you need and set aside to dry.
Cut off any excess fabric once the jars have completely dried. I purposefully left mine to stick up from the top because I liked how the shape resembles a spider web.
Next, add flame-less candles and your Halloween lanterns are finished! You can set them on your porch, garden or inside to decorate.
They’re not too spooky, I actually think they’re kind of pretty. The orange fabric glows with the flame and a slight silhouette of a spider web pokes through.
