FALL MASON JARS CRAFTS

In our house, it’s a versatile item for crafts and creative snacks.
The store Creative Bag has lots of different varieties of Mason Jars. The price for their jars are very reasonable.
Here are some autumn and spooky themed ideas that you can do with a Mason jar.

DIRECTIONS
•Go outside and collect some leaves (if you are using real ones).
•Cut up the white coloured tissue paper in to chunks.
•Paint glue all around the outside of the Mason jar.
•Stick the pieces of tissue paper around the mason jar until you covered the entire outside of it and the top of the lid.
•Gently put glue over the tissue paper and stick the leaves onto the jar.

•Stick the orange tissue paper pieces to the jar covering it and the lid.
•Gently glue the felt and stick them to the jar to create a pumpkin face.
•Paint glue around the toilet paper roll.

**HEALTHIER GHOST GRAVEYARD DESSERT**
I made this dessert for my two little monkeys and they loved it! I thought I would share it with all of you.
It is a small dessert so make sure they eat it after dinner.
What makes this recipe more healthy? I used ricotta cheese which is high in protein and coconut sugar which is a natural sugar.
Here is the recipe below…
INGREDIENTS
•4 –4 oz little Mason jars
•1 1/3 cups of Light Ricotta Cheese
•5 tsp of coconut sugar
•1 tsp of vanilla
•1 tsp of cinamon
•2 Chocolate Organic Cookies (Like Sweet Earth)
•2 NON-ripe bananas
•12 dark chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
•Put the ricotta cheese in a bowl. Use a hand blender or mixer to blend the cheese until smooth (no curds).
•Once the cheese is smooth, add the coconut sugar, vanilla, and cinamon in the bowl and blend it again.
•Spoon in the cottage cheese mix evenly in each of the jars.
•Mash your two cookies into crumbs and put them evenly on top of the cheese mixture to create dirt.
•Cut your bananas into thirds. Take the 4 ends to use as your ghost.
•Turn your chocolate chips upside down and put them into your bananas to create a face.
•Place your bananas on top of “dirt”.
•Serve and enjoy!
