Mason Jar Lanterns

You can create these festive patriotic mason jar lanterns to illuminate your Memorial Day or 4th of July cookout. I love the look of glowing accents at BBQs. It adds a fun party atmosphere to any gathering. You can also use these jars as flower vases to accent your table. These are super fun to make and is also a great crafts that kids of all ages can enjoy. You can use mason jars or raid your recycle bin to reuse glass jars to recreate this design. I typically like to use different size and heights of jars to make the display more interesting. You will need to make these a few days before your event to allow time for the paint to dry.
