Mason Jar UpCycle {Thrifty Finds}

Last weekend while my parents were visiting we hit some local garage sales.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE a good garage sale.  There's nothing better than finding something that looks like junk and turning it into a thing of beauty. I've been on the hunt for some vintage mason jars to make some candle holders for our Master Bathroom.  I stumble onto a good little group.  When I brought them home they looked like this~

Three vintage mason jars for two bucks a piece.

Using some items I had on hand I whipped up these cutie little lanterns.  Now all I have to do is find some hooks to hang them on my bathroom wall by the jacuzzi.  I think they have a nice whimsical coastal feel.

You can see I couldn't wait to hang them before I tried out the candles!

I used some grapevine wire and sisal twine as well as
some cute ric-rac to dress up the jar.

The lantern can be hung from the wire hanger.
There is plenty of room to allow for the heat of the
candle to escape.

The candle nestles into the sand in the bottom.

I had so much fun making these I had to put something similar in my shop!  Just think of how you can change them for the season! Fun!
