DIY Mason Jar Patio Lights

As fall and cooler weather (hopefully) approaches, your patio or front porch may start to sound a little more appealing than in the blistering heat. If you’re looking to give your outdoor space a rustic glow without wires, then these mason jar patio lights are the perfect addition.

  1. Purchase wide mouthed mason jars and remove the lids.
  2. Spray the inside of the jar with a light coat of frosted glass spray.
  3. Once dry, trace the metal lid inserts with permanent marker onto a sheet of plexiglass.
  4. Cut out the circles using aviator snips and smooth rough spots with sandpaper.
  5. Remove the top portion (the solar cell and the light bulb) of mini pathway stake lights.
  6. Glue the cell to the center of the plexiglass ring.
  7. Reassemble and repeat until your whole space is lit!
