You will need:

Instructions:

Roll out some of the clay on the silicone mat.

When it’s about 1/4-inch thick, cut out a 4 1/2-inch circle (don’t use a knife or a cutter with sharp edges directly on the mat).

Continue to roll the circle a bit until it’s about 6-inches in diameter. Don’t worry if the edges are skewed a bit.

With the straw or lollipop stick, make two eyes a bit off center.

Cut out a cup from the egg carton.

Set a Styrofoam ball on top.

Drape the clay circle over the ball. Let the ghost dry very well, at least over night, possibly two nights. Gently remove the ball.

Rest the ghost over a tea light.

METHOD:

Lay down a piece of newspaper or scrap paper before you get started. Paint the outside of your Mason jar tan with your large flat tipped paintbrush and let dry.
se your smaller paint brush to paint on a triangle shaped nose on the front center of your Mason jar with your orange paint.
Use a sharpie or your black paint to draw/paint of a wavy smile under the nose with several dashes through the smile, as well as around the nose.
Then paint on two small cream circles for the cheeks at each side of the smile.
Now carefully glue two googly eyes above the nose with your hot glue gun.
Cut two sets of 10 strands of straw about 3-4″ in length and tie the strands together with another piece of straw for the hair and carefully glue to each top side of the Mason jar
Measure and cut a piece of burlap ribbon to fit around the top of the Mason jar and secure with glue.
Glue a sunflower onto the top left side of the burlap and your scarecrow is complete!
