Step 1
Trace the fixture size on the top of the mason jars.
Step 2
Then cut out the holes.
Step 3
Once the holes are cut, you are going to remove the ring from the end of the fixture. Twist the top of the jar, where you cut the hole, including the outer ring onto the fixture.
Step 4
Once that’s on, return the black ring to the bottom portion of the mason jar lid and twist to secure the lid to the fixture.
Step 5
Put the Minwax Espresso Stain on the Mahogany.
Step 6
You’re almost done with your DIY Mason Jar Chandelier! You need to wait for about 10 minutes of soak time before you can wipe the excess off to get a great finish. The dark stain will match the rest of the mason jar light fixture in your living or dining area.
Step 7
Drill vent holes to allow excess heat from the Edison bulbs to escape. The jars don’t heat up dramatically but still, it’s better to take precautions, right?
Step 8
The Rustoleum Chalkboard Paint has a satin finish close to the pendant lights of your Mason Jar Lights so you can paint the lids to match!
Step 9
Measure and mark where you’d like your jars to go and drill holes in the marked areas. Make sure you make them large enough to fit the cords through.
Thread the wires from the top into the box and pull through. Decide and measure the length that you want each light to hang.
Now you can turn the wall switch on and enjoy the great satisfaction of a job well done!
Congratulations! You have just made your DIY mason jar chandelier!
