Here is how I would make these beauties...
You will need:
-1 mason jar
-1 fine point marker
-puffy paint
Draw your design with
a marker
trace with puffy
paint
Simple!
For a candle
lit lantern:
-2 bendable wires
(around 3 feet each)
-tea light
Fashion a handle out
of the wire making a loop at each end.
Feed a second strand
of wire through each loop and fasten it around the threads of the jar; twisting
tightly multiple times.
For an
electrical lantern:
-mason jar lid
-electrical chord
with light bulb attachment.
You'll need to poke a
hole through the lid and cut your electrical chord near the light bulb
attachment. Pull the chord through the hole in the lid and then reattach the
wires and wrap the new connection with electrical tape.

ReplyDeleteI love these but How did you paint the inside of the jars?
ReplyDeletevery nice
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find the colored jars? I'm looking everywhere!
ReplyDeleteTry water paints on the inside. Make sure they're non flammable when dry.
DeleteThese are beautiful! I used it as the "daily craft" on our facebook page. Check us out at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Brushes-and-Thread/231012056980834
ReplyDeleteLove the henna like designs.... I would certainly smear this somehow while doing it. Great work.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I bet they are very pretty lit up at night.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the idea.

These are awesome, great original idea. The colored glass and the patterns make a striking display. I wish I could draw patterns like that though, I like a poster above, would undoubtedly smear the paint. I am inspired to give it a go though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea
