I made this cute little Jack O’Lantern candle jar at a Relief Society Meeting many years ago – back when we still did crafts at our monthly Homemaking night!
I guess the first step would be to choose your jar. 
So, the very, very first step would be to get one of these little class candle holders from your stash, or from a dollar store. Then go back to the first step!!! You need to choose a jar thats top is the right size to hold your candle holder. Mine was some sort of food jar from the glass recycling bin. (Making a cute pumpkin from garbage is definitely good recycling!)
You’ll need a little votive candle for the stem. Green or brown look nice and stem-like.In order to paint on a glass jar, you first need to paint the jar with something. I don’t remember what it’s called, but you can find it wherever you buy craft paints. It’s a medium that makes it so your paint will stick to the glass. You really need to do this step!!!
Then paint your jar in your choice of pumpkin colour. I added a few lines which are supposed to look like the ridges of a pumpkin – see those redish lines?
And the whole thing is toothbrush splattered with black and gold paint. Be sure all your paint is dry before you paint or stencil on the face. And don’t forget to add those gold dots in the eyes.
Embellish with rusted tin leaves, wire curled around your pencil, and jute.
And you’re done!!!You know, I made this many years ago and bring it out every autumn, and I have still never lit the candle. Maybe this year?
