I absolutely love the idea of these colored glass lanterns with the Moroccan or Henna pattern and if you check out this video by Jay Munee, you will see it is pretty easy to do.
Mason Jar Hangers
But what if you have a lot of old mason jars kicking around? You can use them too by adding these hangers to them. So this way you don't have to purchase specific jars.
What you Will Need:
- clean jars or mason jars or the dollar Tree Lanterns
- Gloss Modge Podge
- Food Coloring
- Glass Paint in gold or your color of choice
- Oven to bake dyed glass Now check out the video:
These are super cool. What a way to dress up your outdoors. They look good during the day but at night they definitely come to life.
If you are a frugal crafter and want some ambiance on your patio or garden then create a lot of these as a family project and hang them from branches, or garden hooks or anywhere to really give your garden and patio a glow.
Use the faux battery candles so there are no worries about fire. You can get them in bulk online.
You can get all the supplies online and delivered to your door so you are ready for your crafting! You could make just one for your table or loads for the garden.
Moroccan Styling
Use whatever stencil you want. As you can see in the video it just needs to sit inside the jar so you can copy over it with the metallic paint.
Find Any Wide Mouth Jar
If you want to recycle glass jars, you could search out any wide mouth pickle jar or preserve jars at thrift stores, garage sales and more.
Run them through the dishwasher and add the wire hangers yourself or purchase the jar hangers online that make them ready to hang. You could DIY this right from the start.
Super Cool Way To Recycle something old and dusty into something beautiful :)
