Description
Create your own magical flower fairy light jar for a whimsical glow in your space.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 clear mason jar or recycled glass jar with lid
- 1 strand of battery-operated fairy lights (warm white or multicolor)
- Silk flowers, faux greenery, or dried flowers
- Hot glue gun or craft glue
- Double-sided tape or floral foam (optional for holding lights)
- Ribbon, twine, or lace (for decorating the lid)
- Optional: butterfly stickers, glitter, tiny fairy figurines, or moss
Instructions
- Prepare the Jar: Clean and dry your glass jar thoroughly. Optionally frost the inside using frosted glass spray or Mod Podge and tissue paper.
- Arrange the Flowers: Add silk or dried flowers inside the jar, layering some at the bottom and pressing others against the inner walls.
- Optional: Use glue dots or double-sided tape to hold larger pieces in place.
- Add the Fairy Lights: Gently coil your fairy lights and tuck them into the jar, weaving them between flowers, and placing the battery pack at the bottom or taping it under the lid.
- Turn the lights on to adjust placement for the best glow!
- Decorate the Outside: Wrap the top of the jar with twine, ribbon, lace, or washi tape and add any additional decorations like charms or tiny fairy figurines.
- Seal and Display: Close the lid (or leave it off for an open terrarium look) and place your fairy light jar in your desired location for a charming glow.
Notes
- If you want a softer light, consider using a frosted finish on the jar’s interior.
- For a more secure hold, consider using floral foam.
- This project can be customized with different decorations according to the season or occasion.
