DIY: Mason Jar Luminaries

I think it's safe to say I love DIY decor involving mason jars, considering my first post about mason jar centerpieces. I think mason jars add such a charming and rustic touch to any event, or even add a little whimsical feel to your home decor. So, in honor of my mason jar obsession, here is another easy DIY project, and I can guarantee you will be seeing more mason jars in the future!

Materials:

Mason jars

Doilies or lace

Ribbon, string, or twine for decorating

Adhesive spray


How to:

1. Spray jar or doily/lace with adhesive spray.
2. Wrap and press doily/lace on jar, as smooth as possible.
3. If desired, decorate rim with ribbon, string, twine, or even burlap and add a charming accessory like pictured above.
4. Place a white votive candle in your mason jar and viola! You have a gorgeous luminary.

Enjoy!

Obsession: Lace and Glitter

Lace and glitter are two style staples that are definitely coming back for 2012. I fell in love with the combination while online shopping for a New Years Eve outfit and now I have my eye on the LC Lauren Conrad Lace Shift dress in cream. 

So why not bring in the New Year with a little lace and glitter? Here are a few inspiring pieces.
