Hosting a Halloween party this year? Just looking for a quick and easy project to do with the kids? If so, it doesn’t get any easier than this!!! All you need for this project are 2 items: glass mason jars and Sharpie Markers plus your beverages of choice. Of course…if you select colorful beverages to go along with your Halloween designs the better!
What’s fun about this is that the designs aren’t permanent! They easily wash-off by handwashing with soap and water or by placing the mason jars into the dishwasher. In the photographs you’ll see an easy-to-draw Jack ‘o Lantern design and a Frankenstein. You can pick up colorful straws from Amazon or your local Dollar General Store. Personally, we like the Rainbow Stripe Paper Straws on Amazon.
Here are a few additional ideas:
Jack Skellington – with milk
Dracula – with grape juice or plum juice
Jack o’ Lantern or Pumpkin – with orange juice
Frankenstein – with veggie juice
Mummy – with milk
Alien – with green veggie juice
Witch – with grape or plum juice
You can take the Sharpie Markers and write classic Halloween messages on the jars too! Happy Halloween, Boo, Trick or Treat, etc. Since the designs aren’t permanent keep the designs simple. After drawing onto the glass mason jars let them sit for 30-60 minutes to make sure the marker is completely dry. ONLY draw on the outside of the jar!!! The marker should never come into contact with beverages or food.

This is a great idea and project to do with kids . I shall ask my grandchildren if they want to do this next year.
What a great idea. I have so many mason jars and this would be a fun way to use them. Frankenstein is my favorite.
