This Halloween craft project is similar to a Christmas snow globe, although the liquid used in the jar is clear corn syrup. It’s a great project for preschoolers, with the help of an adult. Watch for more “…in a jar” projects to come!
Materials:
Instructions:
1. Add a layer of marbles or aquarium gravel to the bottom of the jar.
2. Add a selection of Halloween confetti pieces.
3. Coat the inside of the lid with silicone caulk, almost to the edges. Press pebbles or gravel into the silicone to create the “ground”. Glue your Halloween figure to the center. If using a decorating pick, break all but about 1/4 inch of the “stem” off with a pliers and insert the remaining stub into the silicone, to secure it.
4. Pour in clear corn syrup to fill the jar. If you are adding a figure glued to the lid, remember to allow space for this so the syrup doesn’t overflow.
5. Screw on the lid and invert the jar. For safety’s sake, you can run a bead of silicone caulking around the lid to secure it permanently. Activate your Halloween scene by shaking or inverting the jar so you can see the confetti and marbles floating slowly around.
