My daughter is totally smitten with fairies, princesses, unicorns and anything magical. She loves a good fairytale as does her mama! I have seen fairy lanterns, glow jars, magical mason jars or whatever you would like to call them everywhere on the Internet.

This is definitely NOT a craft for kids. They must be supervised at all times with these jars because of what is on the inside, however they make a spectacular image at night. These are perfect for your next outdoor event!
