INSTRUCTIONS :
STEP 1: GATHER SUPPLIES
![Jack-o-Lantern Slime Pumpkin Jar - Supplies]()
To begin this project, gather all the supplies needed to make the jar. A list of the supplies is above. If upcycling a jar, remove the label. If you don't have any jars to recycle, purchase small jars with lids from your favorite craft store, dollar store or online at Amazon. Find some links later in this post for purchasing supplies.
And don't forget to wash the jars before you use them.
STEP 2: PAINTING LID AND STEM
![Jack-o-Lantern Slime Pumpkin Jar - Paint Lid]()
The lid of the jar and wood spool stem will need to be painted. To paint the lid, squeeze some orange paint onto a paper plate. With a paintbrush or foam sponge, paint the lid. Allow the paint to dry. If the first coat of paint did not completely cover the lid, repaint it.
The wood spool will be used as the stem of the pumpkin. An easy way to paint the spool, so your hands do not get paint on them, is to place the spool on the tip of a pencil. Then, paint the spool with brown paint.![Jack-o-Lantern Slime Pumpkin Jar - Paint Spool]()
STEP 3: JACK-O-LANTERN FACE
While the lid and spool are drying, you can make the jack-o-lantern face for the jar.![Jack-o-Lantern Slime Pumpkin Jar - Face on Jar]()
From the black adhesive-backed felt, cut out your face design. For our jack-o-lantern, we cut three triangles. Two triangles for the eyes and one for the nose. We, then, cut out a mouth. Be creative.
After cutting out the pieces with a scissor, remove the paper backing and attach them to the jar.
STEP 4: GLUING STEM AND LEAF
After the lid and spool are completely dry, use your hot glue gun to attach the pumpkin leaf and spool stem to the top of the lid.![Jack-o-Lantern Slime Pumpkin Jar - Finished]()

STEP 6: PLAYING AND STORING
Kids enjoy playing with slime. It is cool to touch, stretchy, sticky, squishy and just the right amount of mess. So after making the slime, let the kiddos play with it.![Jack-o-Lantern Slime Pumpkin Jar - Slime]()
After playtime is done, store the slime in the jack-o-lantern jar and use it as a Halloween decoration in your kid's bedroom or somewhere else in the house.
