A Giant Glow Jar of Fireflies

This way-over-sized glow jar filled with fireflies is a fun spin on the traditional wreaths and garlands. And the best part? No fireflies are harmed or stressed out in the making of this project! =)
It is super easy, festive, and wireless!
Take some evergreen branches plus Popsicle sticks, and watch the magic happen!
First step, make a frame in the shape of a mason jar with hot glue and Popsicle sticks.
Next, glue pieces of evergreen branches onto the frame, until all the craft sticks are covered. Use extra branches on the bottom to hide the battery boxes of our string s of LED fairy lights.
Wrap the string of lights around the branches and weave it back and forth inside the "jar" and turn on the switch! You can hang this on a door or a wall. Or, prop it next to a wall on a mantel.
I serious think that I caught some fairies on camera! (I DO believe in Santa and fairies!) Look closely at the "lid" of the jar! Do you think those sparkles are little fairies joining in the fun?
For more details on the best ways to hide the batteries, or where to get these fairy lights, visit the link below!
