Recycled Glass Outdoor Lighting Project

It has been raining here the past couple of days, and the snow is just about gone from our deck. Yes, it is still to cold to be sitting out on the deck in the evening, but the spring fever sparks are starting to ignite my thoughts.

Above is a neat project for outdoor lighting that I found. I think I am going to start saving my jars to make one. Baby food jars would work great, but my kids are beyond that stage. Maybe I will ask a friend or neighbor to save some.

You can find the directions for this project at:
