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.

    This 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!

    Such a pretty touch! I love candles, and I love the idea of lighting our walkway with these luminaries. We've got lots of snow to prop up the jars! Thanks for the great idea. 🙂

    We'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!
