When you think of Halloween, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For me, and my incurable sweet tooth, it’s candy!

How to Make DIY Haunted Halloween Candy Jars

Begin by cleaning the outside of your containers with rubbing alcohol to remove any grease or dirt. Once it’s clean, try to avoid touching it anywhere other than the inside.

Next, open up a new project in Cricut Design Space. Begin adding the images. I used the files listed above. For Frankenstein, I unattached the image and used his hair, scar, mouth, and eyes only. Make sure you resize the images to fit your specific containers. Most of mine were between 2″ and 3″ in width.

Once your design is ready to be cut, place your vinyl on the mat, set your machine to Vinyl, and hit ‘Go’. Sit back and relax while it does its thing.

Once everything is cut, carefully remove the vinyl from the mat. Then, slowly peel off all excess vinyl surrounding the design you will not need. Use the weeding tool to remove any remaining vinyl you do not need.

Now cut a piece of transfer tape to size. Peel the backing off of the transfer tape and apply the grid-side over each design.

Next, peel the original backing away from the vinyl leaving the images imprinted onto the transfer tape. Now all that’s left to do is add the images to the container.

Once finished, fill each container with the candy. I used Orange Sixlets for the Jack O Lantern, Green Sixlets for Frankenstein along with Black Sixlets for his hair. The ghost is Celebration by Frey White Gumballs.

These cute candy jars will look great on a candy buffet! Ready to see how to make the second of our Halloween treats?

Wacky Witch, Ghoulish Ghost, and Silly Spider Halloween Treats

Supplies to Make Candy Jars

Clear plastic ornaments
Wiggly Eyes
4 black pipe cleaners for spider’s legs
Miniature witch hat (found mine at the local dollar store. It was part of a headband)
A black marker or die cutting machine to make the witch’s mouth
A silver paint pen, silver craft paint, or silver vinyl for spider’s fangs
Hot glue gun and glue sticks

How to Make Candy Jars

For The Wacky Witch

Begin by filling the ornament with green Sixlets.
Next, using hot glue, secure the witch hat to the ornaments ‘lid’.
Then, using either hot glue or regular school glue (if you want to eat the candy), adhere the ornament’s lid in place.
Next, glue on the witch eyes, then either draw the mouth on or use your die cutting machine.

And there’s your wacky witch!

For the Silly Spider

Begin by filling the ornament with black Sixlets.
Next, cut each pipe cleaner in half. Use the hot glue to attach four legs on each side of the spider’s body. I found it easiest to make a small 90° bend at the end of each leg and then attach it to the body.
Next hot glue six eyes on your spider.
Last, using either a paint pen or your die cutting machine, add two tiny fangs.

And there you have one silly spider to go along with your wacky witch!

For the Ghoulish Ghost

First, paint the ‘lid’ white.
While that dries, fill the ornament with white Sixlets.
Next, prepare the face in Cricut Design Space, then use your machine to cut the vinyl.
Now all that’s left is to add the vinyl facial features (or paint them on), place the ‘lid’ back on, and you’re finished!
