Industrial lightings are in trend now that they are featured in numerous home decor magazines. Want to keep up with the trend with less money spent? Check out this real Mason Jar Lights Tutorial and bring that industrial element to your home!

Step 1: Find the right mason jar for your light

The size of your socket/desired light bulb will determine the size of your jar. Normal light bulbs, energy bulbs and Edison bulbs fit best in quart-sized jars (32oz) at a minimum because they have room to breathe inside the jar.

Step 2: Gather your materials

For this project you’ll need: - A flat-tipped screwdriver - A mason jar - The socket you want to put the jar on (it’s okay if it’s on your wall or ceiling) - A plastic or metal ring that fits your socket (to secure your jar lid to the     socket) - A nail or wood screw - A pen, pencil, or marker - A hammer - Scissors - Pliers

Step 3: Trace your socket

Trace the circumference of your socket on your jar lid. If your socket’s on a wall or ceiling, use the ring that’ll screw onto your socket to trace instead for easy tracing!

Step 4: Punch holes in your lid

Use your hammer and nail or wood screw (or another similar object) to poke holes in the lid, along the circle.

Step 5: Add holes for venting & remove the center of the lid

Additional holes will allow the heat to escape and use caution when removing the center area. Gloves are highly recommended.

Step 6: Insert your socket

After putting the rim of your lid over the lid itself, go ahead and fit your socket through the lid. Hopefully, the circle you cut allows you to push the socket through with little difficulty – and allows the “teeth” of the lid to grip the socket for some support.

Step 7: Attach your socket ring and add the light bulb

Easy enough :)

Last Step: Add your jar!
