Make a jar lantern

Sarah’s Pink of Perfection video blog shows us in the most recent segment how to save money and recycle old jars to create nice lighting for those evening backyard BBQs. From Sarah, “I turned instead to the charming jelly jar, but you could use empty salsa and peanut butter jars to the same end. On the craft-o-meter, these lanterns are startlingly simple to make, and their effect utterly delightful. The glass refracts the light into soft gold beams that play right off the angles of your face for — wow — instant movie star effect. You, my dear, will look as lovely as Marlene Dietrich with gold flecks in her hair.” Link.
