How to Make the Perfect Glittery Christmas Mason Jar Luminary

Light up your holidays with this beautiful Mason jar luminary. This is an easy project that results in a spectacular luminary perfect for Christmas decorating.

Gather these supplies:

• Mason jar or similar container
• ModPodge
• Artist’s paintbrush
• Battery-operated tea lights or LED string lights
• Twine or ribbon
• Glitter (color of your choice)
• Artificial holiday greenery
• Hot glue and hot glue gun

Let’s make a Christmas Mason Jar Luminary:

1. Coat your jar with ModPodge.
2. While the ModPodge is still wet, liberally sprinkle glitter over the jar. Work over a container or sheet of copy paper, so you can reclaim the leftover glitter.
3. Set the glittered jar aside to completely dry.
4. Glue a small artificial wintery floral accent to the top of the jar. You could also use live greens such as holly and pine.
5. Wrap twine or ribbon around the neck of the jar, and tie it into a bow.
6. Put a battery tea light or string of LED lights in the glittered jar.
7. Enjoy your Christmas Mason Jar Luminary, or give it as a special gift.
