How to create a Mason Jar Patio Chandelier

I always lusted after the hanging ladders in Pottery Barn displays. Since I don't like to spend Pottery Barn prices on things I can make myself, I decided to wait it out and find a ladder ...»
that I could work with for my patio. When I found an old ladder at an antiques vendor booth, I knew it had to be mine. I brought it home finagled my husband into hanging it for me using lengths of chain and "C" clamps attached to our patio roof. Then I used simple hooks screwed into the wood of the ladder to hang the mason jars. I added some sand and tealights, and a Moravian star as a centerpiece.

Altogether between the ladder, the mason jars and the star lantern I think I might have formed a trifecta of perfection. :)

When I'm not entertaining I take the mason jars down from the ladder and sit them on the table in case a strong wind blows through. Don't want glass on my patio!

The ladder "chandelier" is one of my most favorite projects ever, especially since it is what drew me into the Hometalk community over a year ago. I happened upon a post here while randomly searching the internet. I shared my idea with you guys in someone else's thread and it received such great feedback that I stayed and never left! :) The awesome Miriam I might have had a lot to do with that! So, thanks! #Bestof2012

  • Mason Jars
  • Aqua mason jars are especially gorgeous as flower vases outdoors or in window sills. Take advantage of that magical light through the glass!
  • The jars are especially beautiful if you add faux snow with white mini lights behind them.  I call these 'safe candles' and they positively glow! (full picture on the blog)
  • Here's one you may have not seen yet. Clothespins and raffia inside water?! 2
  • It adds fun casual interest, so why not?
  • Groupings give impact, such as these jars placed inside a vintage sewing drawer.
  • Is there anything a mason jar can't do?! I doubt it.

  • The final product on the wall! Looks right at home.
  • After wrapping twine around the top of a Mason/Ball jar, I layered in the jar Spanish Moss, rock, and then a loose layer of soil.
  • I then added the succulents and cacti - not as easy as it looks! lol.
  • After drilling a hole in a 1x10x18" plank of poplar wood, I stained it and added a knob. Finally, hanging the beautiful terrarium from the knob!

  • Showing off how lovely he is. I can see a vase like this on a bedside table or on a tray with tea in the garden.
  • Here it sits on top of the coordinating table runner.
  • Running out of time? Use buttons instead... and suddenly your jar is wearing a sweater. Kind of. :) Still cute!
