How to Make a MASON JAR LANTERN !!

 

Cute eh?

{even in the daylight!}

 At a recent auction

I picked up this little white tote for a big ol’ buck {$1}

it was filled with some junk that I
may or may not have actually wanted to take home

like these vintage ray bans

ha!

But a few of the items I WAS able to make use of

…like this chunk of wire

{I believe it is actually used to connect rebar}

don’t think I’ll be doing much rebar connecting this week

(yeah right!)

so thought I’d use it for a different purpose

like for handles on my

Mason Jar Lanterns!!

--------------------------------------------

you
wanna make some??

Take a mason jar

wrap the wire around the rim

twist

slide it under the rim wire

fold the long end over as the handle

and slide under wire on the other side

twist again

Voila!!

add a little candle
(or other little things you’d like to store!)

------------------------------------------

  and go place it out somewhere you can

enjoy it!!

------------------------------------------

IDEAS:

* Do a whole string of them up your walkway

 

* Hang them from your porch

 

* Make a mason jar chandelier

 

* Keep them inside all lined up to use as lanterns

* Store other little stuff (office and bathroom supplies)
 I envision cotton balls and cotton swabs
being stored in them in the future here

 

ahhhh
candlelight

and

mason jars

 anything better?
