This year my teenage daughter wants a more traditional holiday theme in our house… apparently as cute as our “theme” Christmases have been, she longs for something more red and green, like when she was little. (Come on! Our Candyland Christmas Tree was AMAZING!) I myself, was longing for lots of frosty snow, and birch log candles, and starry whites…Feelin’ me, readers? But hey, she has a point. Gotta admit, I miss that homey Classic Christmas feel too!

I ran across this cute mason jar luminary made for Halloween by My Anything and Everything and decided it would be a perfect idea, with a few Christmas tweaks! Love the way our DIY mason jar holiday luminaria turned out, they will definitely be front and center for our “Vintage Home” holiday theme this year! (Sorry, I can’t help it with the themes…)
We chose to use the word “Joy” and three glass mason jars, but obviously it’s up to you.

DIY Mason Jar Luminaria
First of all, what the heck are mason jar luminaries? Traditionally luminaria bags were filled with sand and a candle to light the winter night.

We took the luminaria bag idea and made it a little safer for indoors with the frosted mason jars and the LED candles. Oh, and these are pretty fun holiday projects too!

Place the letter sticker on each mason jar, centered as much as possible. I used a piece of painters tape along the bottom of each jar to give me a guideline of how far up to place the sticker… so they would all be the same distance from the bottom when lined up next to each other. Make sense?
