Outdoor Candle Lanterns

Last spring I made two candle lanterns for my back deck (and this tutorial on how to make them). But two wasn’t enough because the last time we had friends over in the evening, my husband said we don’t have enough light out there. He suggested buying more light strands or installing a solar light. But my thrifty sense said to make more candle lanterns. So, I’ve been saving glass peanut butter jars, and now that I’ve collected a few, I made three more lanterns today. I just need some mounted hooks to hang them on.

You could also hang them from the rafters under your roof at different heights above your table. That would make a really cool outdoor “chandelier.”
