Craft for the Anti-crafter

I am not crafty. Oh no. Actually, most crafty things intimidate me. Like putting in a zipper on Dottie's Halloween costume. But sometimes, I feel bad for my kids, because of my lack of crafting wisdom. So I will try, from time to time, ideas from No Time for Flashcards or Family Fun. This was a Family Fun craft. You take a jar (I just used an old spaghetti jar), clean it out (of course), put masking tape in the shape of a jack-o-lantern face, then paint it (we used finger paint):

So much fun getting messy.

Then, you take off the tape, put a small votive candle inside, and voila!

You've got yourself a literal jack-o-lantern. And I didn't even have to go to the store to buy anything. This is why it's my kind of a craft.
