My jars were found at the thrift store for about $2 each, but you could certainly recycle a few from your pantry or fridge. Just make sure they are large enough for the items that you will put inside.

I picked up my skeleton hands and full body at Dollar Tree.

The set of hands I simply positioned together in a clapping pose and dropped them into the jar. It looked ok, but it needed a little filler.

I took tufts of cotton and lightly sprayed them with black spray paint to make them look aged and dirty. My cotton is from a bag of stuffed toy filling, but you could use cotton balls if needed. Just pull them apart and stretch them out a bit until you like how they look.

And then tucked them in around the hands.

I tackled the skeleton body a little differently, first dismembering him completely, and then tucking all of his parts into the smaller jar. I liked the way he looked all jumbled up and decided not to add any cotton. I didn't want to cover up any of his bones and I wanted the two jars to look a bit different from one another.
