Pumpkin Candy Jar with Black Spider
This pumpkin candy jar with black spider was made from salsa bottle and no cook play dough. Isn't it good to teach our kids about recycling in a fun way?
And, if you are looking for Halloween craft ideas it would be a good craft to start with.
Frankly speaking I don't celebrate Halloween. But the kids in our neighborhood will knock our door for tricks and treats. So I made this candy jar for them.
Tools & Materials:
- Home-made clay. I use no cook play dough for pumpkin and cold porcelain clay for spider. Salt dough is also good for pumpkin. It will dry hard.
- Acrylic paints and paint brush
- Black Marker
- Clay knife
- Aluminium foil
- White glue
How to make Halloween candy jar?
 |
Step 1: Choose your glass jar for the craft & clean it. |
 |
Step 2: Use permanent black marker to cover all graphics and wordings on the lid. |
 |
Step 3: Crumpled aluminium foil to a ball shape with diameter about 3 cm. |
 |
Step 4: Make 8 ball shapes of no cook play dough/ salt dough and then roll it to long oval shape. |
 |
Step 5: Cover your aluminium foil ball shape with dough. |
 |
Step 6: Make the top of the pumpkin. Use white glue to attach this to the pumpkin. |
 |
Step 7: Start painting your pumpkin including the top part. |
Step 8:
Make 2 ball shapes from cold porcelain, 1 big and 1 small for body and head of the spider. And then roll 6 skinny spaghetti shape clay for spider's legs.
Place the above clay shapes on top of the pumpkin and paint the spider with black paint. Also make some orange dots on the body and two white dots for the eyes.
It's done!
