Instructions
Start by placing your fence inside the glass canister. If you want lights inside the jar, I suggesting wrapping them around the fence before putting the fence in.
Add your main structure, in our case it's a haunted house.
Place a couple inches of pebbles the bottom around the house. Make them nice and snug.
Position moss over the rocks.
Add any small figures, like our witch, gravestones, and pumpkins.
Hang ghosts from canister lid or rim.
Expert Tips & FAQs
We did not glue our items in place. We did this so we could change the items at any time. However, if you prefer they stay still, you can certainly glue everything together. I would suggest a strong glue like E6000.
Be sure to check thrift stores for orphaned glass canisters.
You can make some of your own miniatures, like trees from black spray paint and twigs.
