Flip the lid over so that the lid's writing is on the inside of the band as shown.

Press the lid firmly into the glue on the band. Allow glue to dry.

To finish this project, add an artificial jack-o-lantern and artificial leaves as shown in the introduction picture.

The Pumpkin Pedestal is also a great way to display homemade treats.

To change out the Mason jar's contents, simply unscrew the lid attached to the tray, empty the jar, and add new objects to fit the season.
