mason jar lanterns


These mason jar lanterns remind me of a field of fairies.  They are simple to make (tissue paper and glue) and would look so beautiful for an evening ceremony or reception.



If you love the colorful glow, but don't want to mess with candles and tissue paper.  Buy a box of glowsticks, cut off one end and pour it into the jar.  Seal with a lid and shake to coat the inside.  Voila!  Instant lantern.



You can find glowsticks here, but make sure to test out their glow time
so you don't end up dancing in the dark!
