Mason Jar Tea Lights

Today the weather was suppose to be nice and I had planned to be outside doing a little gardening.  But the past two weeks, the weather has been poop, so I opted for an indoor project.  Time to make use of the mason jars I had sitting in the garage.  Just the usual mason jars, and a couple of small preserve jars.

This is the poor mans way of doing things.  One day, “As God is my witness, I WILL GET A CRICUT !”  But… for now, armed with a bag of Twizzlers, I set out to find images on the net...and of course trace it with a scrap piece of paper, (you get the gist). I gathered up the necessary materials; some twine, a glue stick, some tea lights and some spray frosting.

I used very small spots of the glue stick to stick my cut outs to the glass jar, (forgot to take pictures of this part) then sprayed with my spray frosting,  (forgot to take pictures).  Wrapped some twine  around the tops of the jars..(forgot to take pictures of this too) 

Ok lets just skip to the end.

I frosted one jar with a Pear.

A Topiary Tree

and a Rooster

I used an old silver tray I had and some burlap pieces.

I fully expect to use this outside on the patio, but since the weather hasn’t cooperated, I had to take pictures inside.

Can’t wait to sit out in the yard under the canopy with a glass of wine and my mason jars a-glowing.
