Mason jars, obvs.
Mason jars are are like the It Bag of DIY right now. And just when you think you've seen every mason jar DIY anyone could possibly come up with ever, three craft bloggers share NEW mason jar DIY ideas with us.
First up, Jeran from Oleander and Palm creates a monogramed light.
It's not as hard as it looks! Here's how she did it.
Gather your supplies. You'll need a 2' x 2' piece of 1/2" plywoo, 11 quilted canning jars and rims (you may need more or less depending on your letter), 1/2" wood screws, white paint, blue painters tape, a power drill with a 3/4" bit, a string of outdoor lights, a hammer and nail, and measuring tape.
Tape the outline of your monogram. Paint white inside the tape line, allow the paint to dry, then remove the tape.
Lay out the jar rims on your monogram where you would like the lights to be, then trace the center of each. Using a nail and hammer, punch two holes in the center of each jar rim. This will make it much easier for you to put in the screws. Using a 3/4" bit, drill out the center of each marked circle on your board. Secure the rims to the board using the 1/2" wood screws.
Insert the light sockets into the holes and then screw in the light bulbs. Screw down a jar over each light bulb. Plug it in and you are done!
