What you need:
•Mod Podge
•colored tissue paper
•assorted glass or plastic jars (glass if you are using candles)
•acrylic paint
What to do:
1. Cut your tissue paper about the same length of your jar and about 1-2 inches wide.
2. Apply a strip of Mod Podge to the jar, and lay a strip of tissue paper on top of it. Smooth it out, being careful not to tear the paper. It will look a little wrinkly, but will look more smooth once it has dried.
3. Continue doing this, overlapping the strips a tiny bit, all the way around the jar until it’s covered. (for the mummy, I just used random sized strips and put them in all different directions)
4. Cut out face shapes from black paper, or use the cute templates Emily offers here, here or here. I had to re-size the templates to fit my jars. Apply the faces with Mod Podge and give the entire jar a top coat of Mod Podge.
5. Once the jar is dry, paint the tops of the jars green, gray or black.
6. Fill jars with tea candles or a string of white lights, and enjoy the spooky ambience!

So stinkin' cute! I'm definitely bookmarking these so I can make them with my kids!
I didn't think anyone else would do that besides me. When I've got the itch to make something, look out world. And I love Frankenstein the best. What a great find, a square jar! I'm totally making these for our house.
