Penny's Notes:

Affordable and Easy wedding or party lighting

 

Directions

This mason jar centerpiece is easy-to-DIY for your wedding! Adding candlelight creates a romantic atmosphere, and these mason jars will add a rustic and whimsical touch. Buy mason jars (you can buy them in bulk here for about $1 each) and fill with water. Tie a decorative ribbon or string to the top of the jar with a secure bow. Place a floating candle (preferably long burning) in each jar and group approximately 3-4 jars together on each table. Light each candle and enjoy!

**EB TIP: These can also be made into favors. Use the mason jars to light the entire outdoor reception, and add a tag to the handle with your name and wedding date. During the reception, instruct guests they may each take one mason jar lantern home. My sister did this for her wedding and it was such a fun idea!

It looked like there were some clear glass marbles in the bottom of the jar. Another idea would be to use colored glass marbles or even rocks.....perhaps to accent the color of the wedding. I like this idea....gonna make some for myself. Thanks for sharing it!

Just FYI - My DIL did these on the tables for my grandson's baptism. They used the older antique blue canning jars. They had the jars quite full with cold water. I'm not sure if they used floating candles or just tea lights, but the tops of the jars all cracked and some even completely broke off. They were speculating if the candle got too close to the edge with the jars so full and the flame right up against the shoulder of the jar as it curved in - combined with the cold water?? We are totally not sure what combination caused the breakage. No one was hurt, but it was disappointing to lose all of those antique jars
