Create DIY Lanterns to Add Charm to Your Outdoor Space

Lighting can add charm and a warm glow to the outdoor space you spend time relaxing in. Mason jars are perfect for making lanterns. You can use tea lights, battery-powered candles, or strings of lights in them. You can hang them in the tree, place them on your patio tables, and line walkways with them; the possibilities are endless. Mason jars come in all sizes. They are sturdy, come with lids, and have a vintage look that appeals to most.

Begin with clean jars, the lids, the light source you choose, and any decorative items you like. If you use a tea light candle, use a lid with a hole in it for air. Also, don’t leave a burning candle unattended. A safer alternative would be a LED candle. It will last longer than a tea light yet still gives a beautiful flickering glow for a peaceful and stunning effect. Another option is to use battery-powered string lights. You can coil them in the jar for a sparkling effect that is very pleasing.

You can create a welcoming entry to your home with mason jar lanterns. You can hang them in the tree up high enough to walk under or place them on tables to add a warm glow to the occasion. Place them anywhere you want to add some rustic ambiance.

Another great thing about mason jars is their versatility. You can decorate them for different holidays or occasions. They can be painted and adorned with ribbon, twine, charms, or whatever your taste and the occasion dictates. The jars can be made to give a rustic and nostalgic look or a frilly and fancy look.

By repurposing mason jars and decorating your outdoor space with these lanterns, you create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for your family and guests. The lanterns will give your outdoor space a warm and nostalgic feel. Get creative and create a whimsical atmosphere that everyone will enjoy.
