Lighting doesn’t have to be expensive. A few of these around the house can really add some fun and intimate lighting. As you can see here…all this is, is a large jar with a string of white lights stuffed into it. My favorite is the white lights. I have them pretty much year round, but during holidays, it’s fun to put in purple lights or orange or pink! They are on my mantle as you see here. I also have a couple on top of tall bookshelves and it really adds a nice touch. Makes for great night lights for guests that need to find their way to the kitchen or to the bathroom during the middle of the night. Have fun with it! It’s like fireflies in a jar!
Even in the bathroom!

Wow you have a skill to turn rudimentary items into a piece of art!
Thank you for your kind compliment! Much appreciated. 😀
So pretty.. I have a bottle of vodka in the shape of a skull, when its empty I’m gonna do this with it.
That will be awesome! Glug, glug, glug! I’m coming over to help you empty that! Hehehehe
Bahahah, yes!!!!
Love it!😍 I actually did the same thing with my white Christmas lights after I packed up the tree. I bought some glass vases from the dollar store and filled them with the lights too. I just love the glow it gives off. Great post!
Isn’t it so pretty?! I love turning them all on and the soft glow it makes! Good to see you. Thanks for stopping by!
Nice…I will have to share this with my daughters, I know they will love it…oh and I’m sure my 12 year old granddaughter who has awesome taste will love it too. 🙂
I’m sure colored lights like purple or pink or a favorite color of hers would look wonderful in her room!
And you can leave the house without fear of having forgotten to blow out the candles!
Exactly! 😀 Nice to see ya Pia!
That looks fabulous Koko! What a great idea. Warning – blonde question coming….. how do you plug them in? I see a small cord coming out of one jar on your mantle, but can’t see a cord in the bathroom pics. Is it battery-operated?
All questions are great questions 😀 They all have a plug. The one in the bathroom blends in very well. Each jar is made up of one long string of lights. What I love about these is I could stuff all the “light” parts in the jar and there still was plenty of cord to reach the outlet. Good to see you here. Hope your Friday is fabulous!
Thanks Koko! Have a good weekend! 🙂
Nice idea!
Thank you 😀
Great idea!
Thank you for stopping by and commenting 😀
You have a lovely house and they do look like fireflies. Pretty too!
Thank you Liz! It’s a work in progress. ✽ ✾ ✿ ❀ ❁ ❃ ❋
Oh my God! I’m enchanted! So pretty!!
Thank you. 🙂 They do look so magical twinkling in the evening hour! Hope your evening is magically enchanting!
It’s one of those things I won’t forget and would like to replicate for myself.
Oh I love them! Such a simple idea, but very artful outcome!!
Thank you Tiny! I am planning another light. Hope I can find what I need to make them this weekend! Have a glorious weekend Dear!
How pretty!
Looks great, thanks for the idea!
You are most welcome!✿
Love it! I always love putting twinkling lights or little tealights in my room. It helps me zen out especially when I write.
This will be perfect to add to your zen environment!
Good idea… 🙂
Thank you. The best part is how inexpensive it is to put together. I had the jars already and lights left over from parties. Now these lights stay up all year! 🙂
Good… 🙂
Lovely idea 😉
I could picture these in your dorm room! So fun. Also makes for a fantastic nightlight.
That’s so pretty! We have one of those, too!
This is so very clever. I like the idea of decorating lampshade with fabric circles too. Lovely and inspiring blog!
Thank you so much! 🙂 Please come back again. Have a happy Thursday!
this is actually a great idea!! will do this in my new place.
Yes and on the cheap too! I love when things don’t cost much yet still make an impact! ❀❀❀
It definitely makes an impact…and a nice one…what a romantic light…
Very romantic! ❀ This is so easy and you can use different colors and use them for parties or whatever! Very fun! Nice to see you here France. Thank you for all your support with your thoughtful comments! Take care of yourself!❀
