Hanging Jars

I always keep all my empty glass jars to make hanging jars with.

It is great for all kinds of design projects.

I have used them to add inexpensive tea light sparkle to a garden for a charity dinner, to hang hundreds of tiny herb arrangements from a tree as a party favor, filled it with Bubble juice for a wedding, hide clues in them for a treasure hunt and used them as treat baskets

Hanging Jars

Wash and dry glass empty jars. Cut two sections of wire

Bend the first section of wire to fit over the mouth of the jar. Secure this section with the second section wrapped tightly around the wire and the mouth of the jar. Give the wire a twist.

Twist the wires with pliers.

Twist the side wires to secure and test if it hangs straight.
