Create Your Own Mason Jar Lanterns Using Maps for a Unique Lighting Solution!
Transform your kitchen with a unique and charming DIY Mason Jar Lantern, inspired by antique map books from a library visit. Here's how you can create this delightful craft project at home.
First, gather your materials: mason jars (the author found two boxes at a tag sale for a low price), scissors, a brush, Mod Podge, twine or string, LED tea lights, and thin maps. Any kind of map will do, be it antique or modern, world or city maps.
Start by cutting your map into 5'' x 7'' pieces, one for each jar. The author used a scanned map printed on an 8 1/2'' x 11'' piece of paper for their project. Using the scissors, carefully cut out the map pieces, ensuring they fit snugly around your mason jars.
Next, apply Mod Podge onto the jar with your brush, and then press the map piece onto the jar, smoothing out any air bubbles as you go. Allow the Mod Podge to dry, and apply a second coat for a more durable finish.
Once dry, insert an LED tea light into each jar and secure the twine or string around the jar's neck for easy handling and hanging. You can hang your DIY Mason Jar Lantern in your kitchen for a warm and inviting ambiance.
