    DIY Patriotic Mason Jar Luminaries

    IMG_8032Hi there friends. It’s Friday and I’m running around, trying to get ready for Memorial Day weekend, but I wanted to pop in and say hi. How are you? Have any fun plans for the weekend? Well in case you’re looking for a craft or are hosting a BBQ this weekend, I thought I’d share a project from the archives of my other blog, that still is as relevant and pretty back then as it is today. The actual tutorial itself is fairly simple and you might have seen it already around the web, but if not, you can see how I made the exact same luminaries for Halloween, by following this tutorial. But the thing I’ve always loved about these patriotic ones is how simple and pretty they look when glowing on a Summer night at dusk. Have a happy Memorial Day everyone. See you back on Monday (or Tuesday if I’m enjoying myself too much)!

      Are the candles you show battery operated or regular lit candles? I have never used Mod Podge before and don’t know if is safe to light real candles inside them?

      Thanks! They are so good looking!

      This design is wicked! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused.
      Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job.
      I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
      Too cool!
