Creative Therapy -easy glass luminaries

I ALWAYS drool over Life in the Pitts' Creative Therapy session, but never make enough time in my week to actually sit down and make something.  When I do make something it's always last minute, you know?  Some company's coming or I have something I HAVE TO DO RIGHT THIS MINUTE, which usually entails BEGGING my husband to help me.  Well...this craft is no different, and you'll think it's simple and silly {maybe}, but it's one of my FAVORITES so far and the cheapest!

I'm not so great at tutorials, so I'll give you the end results and let you know what materials I used.  That way, you can steal my idea and make it your own.  I don't mind sharing {as long as it's not food...} and I hope you enjoy them!




As you can see, you need some glass....jars?  I think that's the right word.  These are left-over jars from peppers, pickles, baby food {I don't have kids.  I shamefully bought four jars of baby food for the smaller ones...sorry!}  As you can also see, you'll need some Jute.  I had this left over from my jewelry making adolescence, however you can get it from the craft store easy-peasy.  Third, you'll need something from which to create a secure handle/hanger and with which to hang your luminaries.  I hung mine with 12 gauge metal wire from Target.  Third, you'll need your husband's Letherman.  I have my own...it just has glue on it....  So use your own if it's not been too mistreated.  All of that put together, and mine looked like this:




 COOL HUH???  I'm proud of it.  It just looks pretty!  :)  Your last ingredient to a luminary, however, is the light!  {DUH...! hehe}  Because I'm afraid of blowing my house up {because yes -that is something that I would do....ON ACCIDENT}, and our deck and it's furniture are just over a year old, I decided to use.....{drum roll please....}





 FLAMELESS CANDLES {that you can't see because I waited until it was Creative Therapy day to get my act together, but I SWEAR...they're in there!}!  I got them at Target {said, of course, Tarjayyyy}! 

Hurrah!!

Happy Creative Therapy, everyone!!!
