DIY: Jar Lamp

Posted on January 25, 2012 by Reese Kistel

This is an effortless DIY that creates a charming ambiance – a strand of christmas lights in a bottle. That’s it.

I used a large pink jar, but you can use any glass container (clear or colored) that can fit christmas lights (also clear or colored) through the top. I’ve seen this done with wine bottles and those huge, clear pickle jars. Brilliant!

So get your christmas lights out of the attic and into some bottles people! Enjoy
