Tiny Lights In A Jar

Have you ever put tiny lights in a jar? The other day, I was in Hobby Lobby. I’d gone in there for that particular week’s half-price picture frame sale.

And I happened upon a big green jar in the Clearance aisle. It was $4.

There was a smaller one for $2. They had a pretty texture on the outside. I ended up getting them both for a total of six dollars!

In Tiny Lights In A Jar, I found these two jars on clearance at Hobby Lobby

The green jars were stored in my apartment for a week or so. I hadn’t yet figured out what to do with them.

An Idea Came To Me:

Then an idea struck me.

I had some tiny LED lights strung up. I thought to myself, “What about putting the lights in the bigger jar?”

So I got the LED tiny lights out and pushed them into the opening of the large green jar.

Then I decided to put it in the bedroom next to my bed. I read on my Kindle at night, and it’s quite nice to have these tiny lights twinkling in the background when the rest of the room is dark.

They sparkle in my bedroom until I’m ready to put my Kindle away and sleep.

I put the jars, one filled with twinkly lights, next to my bed.

When I purchased these two green jars, I had no idea what I would do with them. But I just knew I’d find something special to use them for. Something decorative and pretty.

Putting them in the large green jar was the perfect thing to do with the tiny lights.

Tiny Lights In A Jar In My Bedroom:

I tend to enjoy an episode of whatever TV show I watch after I shower at night.

This is after supper is eaten and I have completed all the kitchen chores. Of course, the dogs are fed and cared for.

Then, in the hours before bedtime, I lie in my bed to read. Abi and Charlie follow me into the bedroom. They get on the bed and peacefully snooze beside me.

These tiny lights in the jar create just the right ambiance.

  1. How cute! I have some of those tiny lights on my mantel right now, and I love them. Last night I watched a movie with just my little accent lights and candles on, and the house was quiet and peaceful. Heaven!

  3. Love that color of green and it looks so soft and cozy…… where we would get those LED lights when it's not the holidays? Does Hobby Lobby have them year round? Love this idea for in the house… I also like the idea for outside when sitting out in the dark on a nice warm evening.

  4. Very pretty Brenda! I have a larger clear bottle in my dining room with twinkle lights in it too! I love the cozy feeling it gives off… reminds me of lights on the Christmas tree :o)

  24. What a fun idea. I love low lights and I guess that's why I love to leave my Christmas tree up so long. This is a great idea! Ambiance!
