  • Hold your spoon over a candle flame or a gas stovetop and move it around. within a few seconds it will start to shrink and curl. It's so much fun to watch!
  • Taking cues from real flowers, you can make specific specimens or whimsical free forms. Hot glue each petal to another and hold it in place until it cools. Working from outside in.
  • The stamens in the middle are created from the ends of the plastic spoons. Direct the flame an inch or so back from the end and when it starts to melt, pull it apart.
  • They all got several light coats of spray paint, making sure to turn it and cover it all. I bought vases at the Dollar Tree and they also got painted. When everthing is dry, each flower was hot glued on to a vase.
  • I used several different types of spoons. This one was so pretty with its smoky gray transluscence, that I chose not to paint it. it looks like blown glass, right?! 1
  • These would be make great Mother's Day gifts! Plant a little succulent in a smaller vase or arrange some cut flowers in one of the taller ones. Mom will love it!

  • Then the Ball jar is screwed onto the lid! 4
  • We started out with these 3 Ball Jars.  They would shortly become the light fixtures above our kitchen island! 4
  • Here you can see how we prepared the lid.  I used a step bit to bore the hole in the center, then drilled vent holes all the way around the lid to allow the heat from the bulbs to escape.
  • The light socket side of the pendant light kit is inserted through the center hole and a threaded collar is screwed on to hold the ball jar lid in place.

Ball Jar Pendant Lights ( Mason Jar )

The former owner of our house installed 3 pendant lights kits above the kitchen island. The kits are pretty nice because instead of having to be hard wired in, they screw in just like a ...»
light bulb. So instant transformation! The only thing we didn't like about the pendant lights were the existing pendants. We looked at most of our home improvement stores in the area, but didn't find the look we wanted. So we opted to make our own. Jacque decided she wanted to convert ball jars into pendants...And gave me the responsibility of making that happen.
