Glass Luminaries http://fyeahcooldormrooms.com/page/170

Glass luminaries are some of the DIY projects with string lights that have different versions.

Most of the time, the effect people want to achieve here is the illusion of captured fireflies in glass containers.

You can make cute luminaries by placing string lights in multiple beer or wine bottles that are made from colored glass. Even though your string lights have the usual color, the colored glass will give off a different glow.

You can also make glass luminaries by putting string lights in clear glass containers. For a fancier look, you can layer the lights with tulle or other sheer fabric and some seashells or beads.

Instead of fabric, you can also put burlap and/or soft twigs.

You can replace the other contents of the jar every time you are celebrating an occasion. For example:

  • During Halloween, you can place plastic creepers and faux cobwebs.
  • For Christmas, put glittered twigs and other ornaments inside.
  • During Thanksgiving, you can put some straws of hay and baby pumpkins.
