Glow-in-the-Dark Hanging Mason Jar Lanterns
Mason jars are a staple of rustic DIY crafting, and they make wonderful, weather-resistant outdoor lanterns for the spooky season. To create these enchanting glowing jars, coat the inside walls with high-quality glow-in-the-dark acrylic paint. You can apply the paint in splatters, dots, or paint a solid, translucent coat. Alternatively, wrap the exterior of the jars in black lace or apply vinyl silhouettes of bats, black cats, and witches before painting over them. Wrap sturdy wire around the mouth of the jars to create hanging loops, and suspend them from tree branches, shepherd’s hooks, or porch rafters. During the day, they soak up the natural sunlight, and at night, they emit a soft, mystical bioluminescent glow that transforms your garden into a fairy tale forest.
