What You Will Need
- Quart Size Regular Mason Jars
- Mason Jar Solar Light Lid
- Aleene’s Glitter Snow
- Iridescent Snow
- Foam pouncer brush
- 18 Gauge 18″ Floral Wire
- Pliers
Instructions
- Prepare your jars. For this winter theme, I made two versions.Version #1: Use a foam brush and add glitter snow to the jar. Allow it to dry completely before moving on.Version #2: add loose snow to the bottom of your jar. This is the non-permanent option you can use, so you can change your lanterns with each season if you like.
- Now, take your floral wire and use your pliers to make a loop.
- Place the wire around the mouth of your jar mouth as you find a spot directly across from your first wire to add your second wire.
- Place a second loop in your wire and then stretch it around the mouth of the jar. Use the pliers to twist it very tightly and secure it.
- Create a handle with your second wire by putting it through the loops and twisting it to secure it in place.
