There is something magical about summer nights; the moment the sun starts to sink into the horizon and the sky is a brilliant display of orange, pink and yellow. I love summer nights, especially those spent hanging out with friends. After the sun set on our Southern Summer Seafood Boil Party, my friends and I sat in the warm glow of our DIY Outdoor Mason Jar Lanterns and enjoyed great conversation, lots of laughs and created memories that will last a lifetime!
Divide the twine into 2 bunches of 4. Cross bunches at the center and tie a lanyard knot.
Measure the diameter of the bottom of the jar and divide in half. Tie 2 strands of twine together at this distance the entire way around.
Continue tying strands with the previous method until it’s wide enough to cover your jar. You are essentially creating a net for your jar.
Tie the remaining string around the mouth of the jar to create a hanger.
Fill the bottom of the lantern with sand or small pebbles and add the battery operated tea light candle.
Hang from trees, poles or place on the table to create the perfect ambiance for your summer evening.
