mASON jAR lIGHTING

Mason Jars are a nostalgic image. I love collecting them. You can use jars for canning, as a vase, or holding your trinkets. Mason jars are a great look for organizing. Try a DIY project and make your own light set.
First, find mason jars ans a string of indoor/outdoor lights.  You’ll also need a drill, a twist bit, and a hole saw bit.

I began my project by finding and marking the centre of my jar lid, and drilled a starter hole with the twist drill bit. Next, I used the hole saw bit to cut a hole to accommodate the top of the light fixture. stick the fixture in the jar lid and then screw the light in. close the jar with the lighted lid.  and tada! you have a unique fixture.
