5 Great Outdoor Mason Jar Lighting Projects

Project One:

Candle Lighting

Fill mason jars one third full with sand, beans or gravel, and nestle a small candle into the sand. Hang from trees and rooftops with heavy twine. Looks best in groups hung at different heights. Great if done over a dining table under the trees!

Project Two:

Got an unused clothesline? Hang mason jars randomly along the clothesline with wire. Now string white mini lights along the clothesline, wrapping as you go. When you reach a mason jar, wrap lights down into the jar, then back out again, and continue along the clothesline. Back yard bbq’s will never be the same!

Project Three:

Mason Jar Light Cluster

Create your own pendant lights with mason jars! We like the tutorial at In.Gredients.

Project Four:

Mason Jar Oil Lamps

These are pretty easy to make… Poke a hole in the lid of the jar with a nail or drill. Insert a wick through the hole into the bottom of the jar. Fill with non toxic burning oil. I hear even olive oil will burn! Use a fiberglass wick from the craft store for best results, but you could even use a 100% cotton strip of fabric in a pinch. Light, and enjoy!

Project Five:

Solar Mason Jar Lantern

This DIY mason jar project is easy, and inexpensive! Simply buy those small inexpensive garden solar lights at the dollar or discount store. Take the top “light and battery” section off of the stake. Place the light into the jar. Make sure the jar is positioned so that the solar panel gets lots of sun during the day. This is especially gorgeous with frosted glass jars.

DIY Fairy Jar

Items:
Mason jar(s)
Glitter (diamond glitter works best)
Glow stick(s)
Serrated knife


Step 1: Decide which color glitter and glow stick you are going to want in the jar.

Step 2: Cut open the bottom of the glow stick on a towel (as not to get the fluid all over everything; you could also elevate the glow stick on the lid of the jar).

Step 3: Dump the contents of the glow stick into the jar. BE CAREFUL! To my surprise, I found that the inside of the glow stick is in fact, glass.

Step 4: Once you’ve done that, grab the glitter and dump it into the jar on top of the glow stick contents. The amount of glitter is going to depend on the size of your jar, how sparklie you want it, and what glitter you decide on. I used about half of one glitter container I bought. If the glass from the glow stick did not brake upon dumping it into the jar, you can break it now by hitting it with the end of the knife.

Step 5: You can now put the lid on!! Make sure it is on very tight, and shake it up like crazy.

Now that you now know how to make a “fairy in a jar”, you can use them to decorate your childs room at night, a deck outside, the yard, your bathroom when you’re taking that candle lit bath, or whatever else you may think up!

Amazing DIY Jar Painting

Do you have big empty jars of different sizes at home? Don’t just take these jars to the recycling station, you can make jazz up these jars into something very artistic. You only need minimal materials to make this project and of course minimal time to complete it as well. Imagine your empty jars become enchanting works of art in a few steps.

DIY Terrarium

Supplies :

+ Glass Containers (I found mine at the thrift store for just a couple of bucks a pop)
+ Palm & Cactus Mix
+ Decorative Rock (I used Lava rock, because that was really the only small rock option at Home Depot for some reason)
+ Succulents and Cacti (Again, I kind of just grabbed what was at Home Depot)

The thing I like about these type of succulent plantings is that they’re very low maintenance. They tend to need a bit of neglect and sun, both of which I can provide in spades.

DIY ROPE WALL

The construction process is pretty simple. Wood boxes were custom built with evenly spaced rope sized holes drilled through the top and bottom. Precut sections of rope were strung through the top and tied off at the bottom, allowing for the interior knot to hold the rope in place and taut. Just screw close the open side of the box and all those ugly knots are hidden away.

With this design the overall costs are kept pretty low for such a big impact. Rope is cheap, especially when bought in bulk, and wood boxes are very low cost to build. The true cost is going to be labor and time – it’s just a tedious and super repetitive process.

DIY Nautical Rope Vase

This project is similar to the one before. These lovely textured rope vases sued to be sad empty vases. With some creativity and some simple materials you can turn them into beautiful pieces of artwork. You’ll need a bit of hot glue and various balls of jute and piping cord. Start at the bottom and wrap the rope around securing with the odd squirt of hot glue as you go. Have fun

Rope wrapped bar stools Amazing DIY idea

Rope wrapped bar stools
This project is so simple and it has spectacular outcomes. All you need for this is a bar stool that you don’t necessarily like, some rope and glue sticks. First you’ll need to remove the foot rests from the stool. Then cut the legs down and use black spray paint before wrapping them in rope (this is optional). You’ll need about 3 ½ rolls of 50 foot long sisal rope for each stool. Simply spread a little hot glue on the front and back of the legs and wrap the rope around.

Beautiful Wrapped Bottles DIY

This is another interesting and fun project that I’m definitely going to make. For this you’ll need assorted wool or varying width and material, adhesive glue, a paint brush, scissors and some assorted empty bottles. First choose the colors that you’re going to use. Then paint glue on the bottle and start wrapping the wool. Start from the bottom and work your way to the top. Keep all joint at the back and be creative.

DIY Rope shelves

These lovely little shelves are great for displaying small decorations. To make them you only need some lumber, dowel rods and rope. First drill holes into the shelves so the rope can go through and then start painting them. You can use a mini roller brush to keep it neat. Then feed the rope through the shelves and make knots at the bottom. Hang them on a towel hook and enjoy.

DIY Mason Jar Chandelier

There is an ingenious idea which can help us create a wonderful DIY chandelier made of Mason jars. Six pint sized jars and lights are the main materials that you need for this project. Three of them are clear glass, one is pink, another one is green and the last one is yellow. Their arrangement and nice glow make it perfect for any space of your house. You can hang it from the ceiling with hooks and comes with twelve feet of chain and cord. It can also be plugged into any outlet.Another advantage is that you can installed it into an existing light fixture or use it as a swag. With its interesting design will definitely become an eye-catching piece for any guest of your house.

Stunning Wine Bottle Centerpiece

 

Weddings are very special events, in most cases unique for the two most important participants. This puts pressure on you when planning it.Everything needs to be special and outstanding but this doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to use unconventional materials. It’s exactly what these centerpieces are all about. And they work great not just for weddings but also for other events as well.

DIY sunburst mirror

You can create a sunburst mirror by yourself. It’s actually quite simple. You’ll need a mirror with a flat frame edge, around 150 pieces of branches or twigs, blue sticks, a glue gun, painter’s tape, a yardstick, a saw, sandpaper, a sheet of paper, spray primer, spray paint and hanging hardware. Since you’re going to use branches, the mirror will have a rustic and original design. Before beginning the project it would be best to attach the hanging hardware to the back of the frame.

The first step of this project is to cut the branches to varying lengths between 15 to 18 inches long. Of course, these dimensions are just a suggestion. You can feel free to adjust the design and instructions according to your preferences. Next, use tape to create intersecting lines on the mirror’s surface. Use the yardstick as a guide.

These lines will help you create a uniform look for your mirror. If you want, you can leave the branches as such or you can paint them. Now use the glue gun to attach several branches to the frame. Using the guidelines you have created using tape, glue the other branches and create a radiating circle around the mirror frame. Now you have a lovely sunburst mirror. Given the fact that you used branches/twigs, your mirror will be unique. Also, you can adjust the design and personalize it. For example, you can use more than one color for the branches or you can use something else instead of twigs, maybe something a little more solid.
