Hello everyone! I’m so thrilled to be here today sharing this super easy and cute Halloween decoration idea. I love, love, love candy corn! This time of year, it is my weakness. This iconic striped candy is what inspired these candy corn luminaries that adorn my front stoop. They make great holiday decorations during the day… and look great lit up at night.

Candy Corn Mason Jar Luminaries

Supplies for Mason Jar Luminaries:

• mason jars
• sponge brushes
• multi-surface or glass paint in orange, yellow and white
• battery-operated candles
• decorative mason jar lids
• decorative washi tape and bakers twine (optional)

I used Americana Multi-surface Satin paint in poppy, lemon zest, and cottonball colors — perfect candy corn colors!

First, I used sponge brushes to paint the bottom third of the mason jar yellow, and then the top third white. I let it dry completely on a paper plate. You can apply a second coat of paint if necessary.

Then I painted the middle section of the jar orange making sure there weren’t any glass showing between the color layers.

Looks yummy enough to eat, right?

I let the paint dry completely again on the mason jars before moving onto the final step.

Time to dress up the jars! I used decorative mason jar lids with a flower pattern to cover the jars. It’s so pretty at night when the light flickers through the top. I also added a stripe of polka-dot washi tape and tied a string of orange and white striped bakers twine to complete the luminaries.

These luminaries look great outside leading the way to our doorstep. We are ready for trick-or-treaters, for sure!

So candy corn cute and crafty!

They would also make great Halloween party decorations. Enjoy! Thanks so much, Marie, for letting me share this with your readers! Happy Halloween crafting!
