DIY Garden Light!

I'm not sure what the ugliest part of this fixer upper was when we bought it. Could have been the dark panelling that graced every wall and ceiling, or the kitchen that had 3 different counter heights all attached to each other, or the bathrooms that were almost paneled-but one of the main things was the lighting. Holy cow - U.G.L.Y.
This weekend we got around to changing the one in the den and as soon as it came down I knew I was going to repurpose it to use outside. My original plan was to turn it upside down and use it for candles but as I was putting it away (as a future project) I noticed my blue mason jars, and they practically put THEMSELVES on the fixture LOL.
New garden light for over the outdoor table! This will be installed with an actual light switch! Still not sure whether I should spray paint it - or leave it as is and let it get rusted up.
(Patina! I'm thinking Patina LOL)
Have a great day everyone ♥

    Hi so will you add light bulbs inside the mason jars and if you do, do you need to add holes to let the bulbs breath?

    Great idea with the mason jars. It's some cheap metal with an antique brass finish from the 80's - 90's. Won't age properly. I go for PATINA, PATINA, PATINA!
