DIY Hanging Mason Jar Light

Here's something else :) Just did this one less than an hour ago...


It was super cheap and easy!

Materials:
- Wide-Mouth Mason Jar
- Hanging Light Cord
- Hammer & Nail
- A Helper



Trace the end of the cord where the bulb goes on the lid of the jar.  Take your hammer and nail, and hammer little holes around the circle (i suggest using a piece of cardboard).


Turn the lid over and punch holes in between the existing holes.  You should be able to punch the circle out with a little effort.  Use the hammer to flatten it.


Now... I don't know the proper name for this light cord, but it looks like this:


Put the lid over the end piece...



Screw on one of the round pieces to secure the lid...


Screw in your light bulb, screw the lid into the jar, and hang.  Voila!


Looks adorable as a light above th bed in our guest room :)
