We love all kinds of Mason Jar Lights but sometimes we wish to have something simple like these Mason Jar Luminaries.
These Christmas jars are so easy to make and cost just pennies using items that you just might have around the house already.
Also, this is a much safer way to have luminaries without the fear of starting a fire with those paper bag luminaries.
These Mason Jar Christmas Luminaries are gorgeous outside are safer than paper sack luminaries and can also be used inside
DIY Mason Jar Luminaries:
- Wide Mouth Quart Mason Jars-– You could use other sizes according to your taste
- Epsom Salt
- White Votive Candles Or Red Votive Candles or Yankee Candles Mixed
- Pour the Epsom salt in the bottom of the jars, depth is up to you but not deeper than the size of candle you are using.
- Place a candle in the center of the jar and light the candle
- Leave the lids off or use these cute mason jar cut out lids for wide mouth jars– (remember to match the size of the mouth of the jar with the same size cut out lids)

December 4, 2013 at 1:27 pmThis is a real neat idea. There is a community in North Carolina called Dillsboro (Near Cherokee) that lines the street with the paper bag luminaries and it looks so beautiful. The Epsom salt idea for snow is a neat idea, too. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for sharing and have a happy WW!

December 10, 2013 at 7:26 pmWe've been using canning jars for luminaries for about 17 years. We have used sand in our jars, but I like the Epsom salt idea…more wintery looking!
