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!
lovely to look at. going to get out the Epson salts now!
Evelyn, these are so pretty!!! I totally agree, so much safer (and more beautiful!) then the paper bag luminaries. Thanks for the lovely inspiration and hope you have a happy Thursday! Hugs!
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. 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing
This is so lovely on a Christmas-y night! What a lovely way to greet visitors
simple and beautiful, love it. Thank you for sharing
I love this! So adorable!
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!
These are so pretty. Thanks so much for sharing
How beautiful. Wind-proof!
These are so pretty. I have a friend who loves mason jar crafts; I'll have to show her this.
