This Halloween Head in a Jar DIY is the Creepiest & Easiest Decor!

Easily create these creepy Halloween heads in a jar. They take just minutes to make and are a super frugal DIY decor idea!

Things are getting really creepy this Halloween! 🎃

Decorating for Halloween can be so much more than just pumpkins and pretty fall wreaths. If you’re looking to make things extra creepy this year, these Halloween head in a jar decor pieces are such a scary yet simple DIY you can add to your home!

…And the results are totally unreal! Literally! 

I’ve never been a huge fan of Halloween myself, but now that my two boys are starting to get really into the holiday and all things scary, I’ve started to come around to the idea of making Halloween at our home a little extra creepy.

Oh, the things we do for our kids.

After seeing this incredibly easy Halloween decor idea Lina made years ago, I knew I needed to try it out this year and that my boys would get such a kick out of it! So if you’re looking for the ultimate creepy decor to add to your home or put out for trick or treaters this year, you’re absolutely going to love this simple DIY idea!

All you’ll need for this simple Halloween DIY is a creepy mask (the more realistic, the better!), a glass jar, and water!

You’re not going to believe how real they look and that’s with very little to no effort on your part! 😱🤯😨

As another idea, head to your local thrift store for a possible score! While I didn’t luck out this year at my thrift store, you may be able to find a creepy mask for just a couple of bucks – making this easy DIY even easier on your wallet!

Even better, you can make this Halloween DIY even more frugal if you already have a creepy Halloween mask laying around. 👏🏻

You’ll also need a glass jar for each mask.

I found gallon-sized jars work best to fit my Halloween face masks and since I didn’t have any laying around, I grabbed a few at Walmart. Plus, these glass storage jars are super trendy right now, so even though they weren’t the most frugal idea, they can easily be repurposed as a pretty pantry storage idea or even for regifting as Lina did for this Christmas idea!

A gallon-sized pickle jar is also an even more frugal idea if you have one laying around or plan to purchase a jar of pickles for your upcoming Halloween party.

If you have an old jar AND a mask laying around, this Halloween head in a jar DIY could potentially be FREE! 👏🏻

This sealed or air-tight glass jar idea is best if you plan to place your creepy Halloween mask jars in places they could potentially be knocked over.

Supplies Needed

• Creepy Halloween Masks
• Clear Glass Jar (gallon size is best)
• Water

Directions

1

Gather your creepy Halloween face masks and gallon-size jars. Again, the creepier the mask, the better your outcome will be!

2

Take off any foam padding from inside and cut off black elastic straps. This step is optional, but encouraged so it doesn’t take away from the realistic look once complete!

3

Place your Halloween mask in your jar and fill with water until full. You may have to reposition the mask as it fills.

 

Hip Tip: One of my masks had hair and it did just fine in the water, however, you can also opt to have some stick out of the lid as I did with the Granny & Zombie masks. This also helps to hide the back of the mask and make it look more realistic. 

4

Place your lid on once your jar is full and your mask is positioned the way you want it.

5

Now you get to enjoy your creepy & super scary Halloween DIY!

Save your masks for next year!

Once Halloween is over, empty your jars and lay your masks out to dry so you can save them for next year! 👏🏻

Well, I’m not too sure what our neighbors will think, but the boys sure are getting a kick out of this simple Halloween DIY! LOL! 🤣

Happy Halloween, Hip2Savers! 🎃👻

WOW! Lina did this Halloween craft with a laundry pod container! 😱🤯😍
