Ready…? To begin, I simply spray painted my jars with the spray paint I purchased.I wanted the jars to look stained with sand so this paint is actually absolutely perfect to give you that wet stained sand look. I coated thejars twice very lightly to get the look as pictured. One time was actually enough, so use your own discretion to get the look you want for the jars.

Once the jars where dried, I took some gold wire and wrapped it around the openings a few times around. I cut the wire and weaved the end a few times around until securely in place.

I then made a handle for the jars to hang. To do so, I simply measured the wire across leaving enough room to cross over. I looped and weaved it around both sides to securely & tightly hold the jar up. (Lift it up afterwards close to a tabletop to ensure that it’ll hold up steadfast when you hang it up later)

Once the loops for hanging where securely in place, I wanted to spruce up the jars and make them look more beach like. I decided to add on some off white coral flowers and some craft starfish to the jars.

To do so, I simply found an angle and glued the flowersand starfish to the jars. Tadaaaaaa…All Done!!! These jar lanterns where so simple and fun to craft up. They can be used as lanterns for your patio, or even simple and pretty decor for aorund your home. I really hope you find sometime to add this to your artsy collection.I enjoyed putting them together and hope you enjoyed my tutorial here today. THANKS SO VERY MUCH AGAIN CHERI!!!Hope you all can come by and visit me sometime.. Toodles… Sincerely ~
