one of the summer projects i have been working on has been a little backyard improvement. first there was the new grill, a few potted plants, then added some twinkly lights around the fence. linds added a nice wicker bench and coffee table. it's looking pretty good so far.

we have a growing mulberry tree in one corner that needed something. i saw these DIY mason jar lanterns over at renest and thought they would look great.

i made 6 lanterns last night with a little help from AT and will be collecting more jars to make more. no need for mason jars, i used just random glass jars i had been collecting. you can find the directions on how to make your own here.

or if you are not much into DIY, alyssa ettinger has there gorgeous porcelain mason jar lanterns that can be found here.
