Supplies Needed

Battery operated fairy string lights

A long string of silver paper star garland

Mason jars with lids

Clear candle holders

Clear industrial strength adhesive glue

A pair of scissors

Fresh batteries

Scrotch tape

A sheet of napkin or paper towel

Half face mask for protection from potent fumes by the glue (Optional)

Step by Step Instructions

1. If the mason jar comes with an open lid, seal the laid and rim together to form a full lid then let it seal and dry.

2. Apply glue to the top of candle holder(s).

3. Stick candle holders onto the top of the mason jar lid(s), and let glue settle and dry.

4. Wrap the star paper garland string around your hand to create a coil, then place inside mason jar. (The amount used depends on how much you want and/or the size of jar container)

5. Apply batteries to the string light's battery holder. (Turn on to make sure lights are working properly.)

6. Stick string lights inside the mason jar with the battery pack sticking outside of it.

7. Tape battery pack onto the lid to secure it in place.

8. Screw the lid on the mason jar.

9. Voila! Enjoy your brand new table centerpiece!
