DIY Jack Skellington Ornament from The Nightmare Before Christmas

It’s October 1st, which means that no one can deny that it’s Halloweetime! While I have a tendency to celebrate early, October 1st typically marks the day where everyone else catches up and starts celebrating with me.

One of the biggest things that indicates it’s finally Halloweetime is that Freeform kicks off their 31 Nights of Halloween tonight- so this The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington ornament seemed like the perfect thing to share today!

Now you may think that this is me celebrating way too early again, and yes this is technically a Christmas ornament. But lots of people have been putting up Halloween trees lately, so this ornament {just like the movie itself} does double duty as perfect DIY decor for both your Halloween tree and your Christmas tree!

You can catch The Nightmare Before Christmas starting tonight on Freeform- and be sure to check out the full 31 Nights of Halloween lineup!

Jack Skellington Ornament

Supplies:

Floor finish
Empty plastic or glass ornament bulb
Black Paint Marker
White Glitter

Instructions:

1. Remove the cap of your ornament and start by funneling a small amount of floor finish into the top.

2. Swirl around the floor finish and then drain out the excess.

3. Pour in glitter and again, swirl that around until there is full color coverage of your ornament. Dump out the excess glitter.

4. Use a black paint pen to draw on Jack’s face- you can use these photos or a screenshot from the movie for reference:

Draw two oblong shapes for the eyes
Draw a semi circle smile shape with vertical lines all across to complete the smile
Add your two ovals for nostrils 

5. Replace your ornament top and hang from your Halloween or Christmas tree!

Do you start celebrating holidays early or wait until it’s close to the date?
