This is a simple way to add charm to a window. I used wired twine to wrap around the mason jars, and hung them by twine from a wooden valence. Adds warmth to the room with the candles lit on a cool night. And lovely in the summer with some sweet flowers from the garden.

I like the look without the lids....I think I'd wrap the wire twice to make a good fit and skip the lid. I could just have these made by the weekend. My kitchen windows are the legnth of the kitchen and now I'm super excited to get this started.
@Louisa H. - I like your idea too. I have some pretty jars that I've kept for "something". I think this idea may just be it!!
Brenda and Connie, I love this, Connie I am a glass freak..of all sorts. I would try this except my little kitchen window looks out on the carport and no sun coming through. I would love to put ...»

I'll be in Jo-Anns tomorrow and I'll be on the lookout for the wired twine. I didn't do any canning this year and have loads and loads of jars just sitting on the shelf waiting for this idea! To me, there's nothing more cozy than candles glowing at night...and this will replace the 2 lanterns I have right now hanging outside the windows. They would bang around too much in the cold and wind this winter and now I have a repacement idea !
thank you Brenda!
