Weekend DIY: Mason Jar Lights

I saw them last summer for the first time. We were in a fairy-tale-like chocolate shop at the end of the world (or so it seemed) and these mason jar light fixtures were the best idea for making the shop even greater.

I snapped a quick photo and kept the memory alive until today when I found a DIY on how to make mason jar lights yourself!

Take a stroll to Senseless Sophistication for an in-depth tutorial on how to make your own for as little as $5 as opposed to $40 - $200!

I also found a cute DIY video by megruth, that will give you a few more crafty ideas for this vintage looking light pendant! Did you notice what's written on the jar on the photo?

  6. Those pendants are very cool, but in the photo above you have multiple lights coming from one hole in the ceiling. How do you do that?

    1. Hi Aley, the best thing to do is ask the people who've made it: http://www.etsy.com/listing/78400893/mason-jar-light-chandelier-lucky-seven

      Good luck!
