There areso many great examples online of ceiling lights made from mason jars that you might want to try creatingone of your own. But theidea of working with electricity and glass couldmake some peoplefeel like the project istoo complicated to do. I decided to take on this project and I was pleasantly surprised by how simple creating a mason jar light is.

I discovered that you can buykits to turn your mason jars intoceiling lights. For this project,I purchased two kits, and two mason jars.

Whether you use a kit or not, you have to use the correct size light bulb. With this kit, you just have to screw the proper bulb into thelight kit.

Next, justtake off the top off of the mason jar and then screw onthe light kit. It isas simple as opening a jar!

This particular kit is very simple becauseall you need is a standard outlet to plug in the cord that comes with the kit.

I have aseating corner in my home that gets dark in the evening. The room alsohas a vaulted ceiling, and the angle makes it challenging for me to install a lighting fixture. These mason jar lights are perfect for this space.

Once I determined where on the ceiling I wanted to locate the light, Iscrewed in the hook that was included withthe light kit.

The kit came with a small piece of plastic that holds thecord in place for hanging. I looped the cord through the plastic piece at the length I wanted.

Next, I hung the cord onto the hook by the plastic piece.Because Iused two lights, I staggered their height, which allows for more visual interest.

I then installeda second a hook on the wall so Icould pull the cords tight down the corner, helping them blend into the background.

After they were hung, I simply had to plug the lights in and turn them on!

I am in love with the glow that these mason jar lightsemit. Perfection!

These lights add such a fun and whimsical feel to the corner space. The mason jar lights also become a focal point, bringing acreative look to the room.

Finding a way to reuse pieces like these mason jars, and finding a way to do it simply is a great project. There are so many ceiling light kits available that it should be easy to find one that works for you and your needs.
