For this craft you will need:
(1) Pint size or quart size Mason jar
White acrylic paint
Black vinyl
White melamine plate
Decorative paper plate
Paint brush
Pencil
Scissors
Hot glue or epoxy
Silhouette or Cricut (optional)

Let me show you how easy this is to put together

First, paint your mason jar with the white acrylic paint.  I used about 3 coats to get good coverage.

Next, take your black vinyl and turn it so the back side is facing up.  Sketch out the ghost eyes and mouth and cut them out.  You can also use an electronic cutting machine such as a Silhouette or Cricut for this step.

Make sure the paint is dry and then place your vinyl eyes and mouth onto the mason jar.

Place a white plate on top of the mason jar and you have an adorable Halloween themed dessert stand. Use hot glue or epoxy to secure the plate if you would like to make the stand permanent. I would suggest using a light melamine plate. Also, because the mason jar is small, you will need a small dessert sized plate. I placed a black and white paper plate on top to make it a bit more decorative.

This stand is perfect for displaying cupcakes or small desserts. It even works for a small smash cake.
