How to Make Holiday Luminary Jars

Whether they're charging in the sunlight or illuminating your home, these Holiday Luminary Jars are a whimsical Christmas decoration. Customize your very own winter scene with miniatures and sisal trees, then add the solar light adapter to illuminate it.

1 Apply a glue dot
Take 2 to 3 sisal trees of various heights and apply a glue dot to the bottom of each.
2 Group the trees
Group the sisal trees in the bottom of an opened mason jar. Place them towards the back of the jar to allow room for your figure.
3 Add snow
Apply a layer of artificial snow, approximately 1/2" to 1" deep. You want to add just enough to cover the base of the sisal trees.
4 Place miniature
Carefully place the flocked penguin, snowman or deer figurine of your choice into the snow.
5 Add doily tape
Take the mason jar rim and add a strip of doily lace tape for some holiday color. Red, blue and white are all festive colors for the season.
6 Add solar panel
Open your package of mason jar solar lids. Open the battery compartment and discard the plastic piece, then place the solar panel in your mason jar rim and screw it onto your jar.
7 Let panel charge
Allow the solar panel to charge in the sunlight for several hours.Then, enjoy your new luminary!
