How to Make Christmas Luminaries With Mason Jars
- 1). Choose pint or quart-size Mason jars that are the same size and style. For the best results, all jars should be the same type of jar.
- 2). Paint designs on the outside of the Mason jars with hologram glass paint to add sparkle. Trace the outline of a star and fill in completely or dot with the glass paint. Dot fine lines around the jars to make or complete a design.
- 3). Fill the bottom third of the jars with crushed or cut glass. Create a colorful display by using colored glass to reflect the light, or stick to clear crystals to reflect natural light.
- 4). Wrap decorative ribbon around the mouths of the Mason jars and tie them into bows. Add luminescent balls or sprigs of evergreens by hot-gluing them in place.
- 5). Insert the votive candles into glass candle holders. Secure the holders in the luminaries by pushing the base of the holders into the crushed glass.
- 6). Arrange luminaries along the walkway to light the pathway to your home. Light candles before holiday gatherings to light the way for guests.
