Handcrafted celebrations seem to be popping up everywhere these days- it is quite refreshing. Whenever I find pieces that I adore I flag them to attempt making someday. However my folder for future projects is overflowing with months of work- oops;)
Instead, I am sharing a new series entitled recreate recipes, where I share just a quick photo of a piece & my own little recipe for recreating it. You will have to take the project from there.
First up, this amazing wood mason jar chandelier…

Mason jar light fixture recipe:
One large piece of wood + two buff hands that can cut holes + mason jars + tea lights + heavy rope.
Cut holes in wood, mix together mason jars and tea lights, slip jars into the wood piece and tie it all off with rope. You will end up with a romantic and cozy solution for fall celebration lighting.
PS. Not to worry this new series is in addition to each of the actual and full tutorials I will continue to share with you.

If I had a place in my apartment for this I would have it up in a heart beat. It’s great. I can’t wait to see more from this series.
i love it! may try that out …just need to find a place to make its home
thanks for sharing!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I love this! My hubby will give up his buff hands to make this for me! =)
This is really cool but ” cut holes into wood………slip jars into wood” hmmm! from the look of this how is the small end of the jar staying in the hole? There is a ” hole” lot more to this recipe. Are you one of those people who forgets the secret ingredient when passing on Great Aunt Matilda’s recipes. That’s fine if you do…….but could you at least give us challenged “cooks” a hint!
Really cool Idea though.
Some Mason jars are wider around the neck and taper towards the bottom, you have to look carefully for them! they also have the two piece metal screw on top, these jars feature a two-piece cover: an inner, flat, metal or glass lid, covered by a screw-on ring. You will not need the inner flat disc for this project, the metal screw on lid makes the neck of the jar wider. Hope this makes some sense!
I remember seeing these beautiful lighting projects in 2 different weddings on the blogs. Do you remember where the links are? Soooo beautiful.
Katie the first link under the photo will take you to the original wedding feature on Project Wedding- It was a very beautiful day:)
What a gorgeous idea…we love vintage canning jars! And we just happen to have some handy husbands as well…hmmm…feeling a project in the works! Thanks for sharing

Looks like a great idea – the photo is lovely! But I agree with Patti Sue – the instructions could stand to be a bit more specific. How do the jars stay in the wood and not fall out? Thanks for the beautiful idea!
