Mason jars are being used for everything nowadays, so why not use them to light up your home? These “fairy light” jars have been a hit on the internet and can be used in any space you see fit. They work perfectly for a dimly lit living room or a romantic dinner, as well as being great night-lights for the kids, and an activity you can all have fun doing together! To make these functional and pretty, it takes a mere 15 minutes and barely costs anything at all. Find the step by step here:\u00a0http:\/\/bit.ly\/2qAbu2J<\/a><\/p>\n

This next creative way to light up your home is one of the least expensive options, and also one of the coolest looking. Any overhead light can quickly be turned into a conversation starter with just some plastic cups of your choosing, a hot glue gun, and glue sticks. This is certainly an attention-getter in any home. We recommend using fluorescent light bulbs, or a light not directly touching the bulb, so as to keep the heat away from the plastic cups. When done right this installment looks beautiful and can transform a room or foyer. Find the instructions here:\u00a0http:\/\/bit.ly\/2qAbsYD<\/a><\/p>\n

Our final installment of these creative DIY lights is our personal favorite. All you need to make this project a reality is a LEGO set of your choosing, a lamp that needs revitalizing, and a little time! If you have kids this will be a perfect craft project for you and your family. Start by building a base, and then build your way up creating whatever design you choose. The best thing about this DIY is that the kids can participate and add their own personal flare to the project! Once you’re finished, turn on the light and watch the colorful light come pouring out from the lampshade you created. This project will change the atmosphere of any room it’s in and add a unique touch to a child\u2019s bedroom!
