DIY Project #3

These are simple jar lights to hang. They look great at dusk and add nice ambiance lighting.
You can use any size jar you like. The one above is a mason jar, but I also used baby food jars.

Materials:
-glass jar
-craft wire (the thinner the better, 
as it is easier to manipulate and cut)
-wire cutters
-tealight candle
-candle for wax drippings

 First cut two strips of wire. Length depends on your jar size.
One wire wrap around the mouth of the jar so it won't slip off. 


The second wire is the hook to hang the jar with. Twist the wire on each side of the jar into the first wire.



Light the dripping candle and let the wax melt for few minutes. Once you have a little pool of wax pour it on to the side of the candle slowly so it drips down the outside.


Drop the tealight candle onto the jar and you're done. Hang them from a tree or ceiling hooks.
