Fun Lights
Last year, my mom and I were making some plum rum jam (I’m noticing a theme with our jams: rum is popular). We had several half-pint jars left over and were trying to decide what to do with them. Naturally, we turned to Pinterest for ideas (warning: Pinterest is a black hole of time if you’re not careful). We found some ideas, but fell in love with a glittery lantern idea. Here, I will share with you how to make these cute little lights. They are perfect for a birthday party or any party really.
Items Needed:
- Empty jars (we used half-pint), clean and dry
- Hairspray (the aerosol kind works better than the pump)
- Glitter
- Flameless tea lights (one for each jar)
- Spray paint (optional)
Instructions:
- Spray the inside of the jars with the hairspray. Be sure to coat it well.
- Quickly pour in the glitter and rotate until coated. The amount will vary depending on how thick of a coat you want. I like mine a bit thinner so the light can be seen better.
- Allow to dry. Meanwhile, if you choose to, spray paint the lid of the jars. Allow these to dry.
- Once dry, place the tea light on the inside of the lid and screw the jar on top. Place where you desire and enjoy.
