This mason jar monster craft is adorable for kids birthday parties or Halloween decorating.
We are slightly monster obsessed around here as proven by this crochet Monster hat pattern, these Monster goodie bags and this roll a Monster game. Clearly we love monsters so it made total sense to create this cute mason jar monster to hold onto our Halloween candy this year.
There is just something endearing about a giant monster eye made out of felt I tell ya. We’ve made this Monster embroidery hoop art, these Monster cookie pops and these Monster finger puppets in the past too! Be sure to check out all of the monster posts for tons of inspiration.
