Super Simple Mummy Jam Jar Lantern

As we've grown into adults, there's one thing we can't get enough of: ambient lightning. Usually, we opt for twinkling fairy lights wherever we can, but this Halloween, we can make it spooky with mummy mason jars. Take your craft to the next level using more texture bandages or different types of eyes.
