Christmas in a Jar With Lights

I totally know these little mason jar snow globes are not a new idea. I have made these little jars for over two years now to decorate my table or mantle with. This year, I decided to take it up a notch by adding some lights.
The idea came to me when I did made this Succulent Fairy Garden with Crafts Unleashed. I love how the lights add a bit of whimsy to a project.
First, you will need some lights. I used Micro LED Lights. They are cheap and come two to a pack.
Add your lights in and pour more salt over them. I used a spoon to cover the lights up. Now the thought did cross my mind if the salt would erode the lights….and I don’t have a good answer for that! 😉 So I will just see as the month goes on if something happens. So far I am on almost 5 days and all is well. The battery is not in the salt so I don’t know if that makes a difference or not If your worried you can always try that fake craft snow.
Once, you have buried your lights tape the battery pack to the top of the mason jar lid.
Here it is a night all lit up.
Enjoyed the project?

I used the large round canister jar with a lid. I filled it with faux snow ( I like the salt idea) trees, church, and different winter fairy garden characters, snowman , I used the lights and worked one of the light into the church steeple . Made for a fun winter scene lite up .

I would use a jar from pasta sauce, remove the label & you have no writing. Reuse, recycle, up cycle.
