Happy Wednesday Friends… we’re half-way to the weekend!
Today I’ve got a great tutorial on how to make this cute mason jar lamp. I actually made this years before I started blogging, but since I’m updating the lamp I thought I’d share.
Supplies needed: {this post contains affiliate links for your convenience}
Drill
You can purchase a lamp lighting kit at your hardware store or online.
Drill a hole in your mason jar lid that is large enough to slide the base of the light socket through it.
Slip the mason jar ring and the decorative base over the end of the socket.
Slip the mason jar lid on and follow with the washer and nut.
Attach the mason jar lid to the jar and twist on your mason jar ring.
This lamp is in my oldest daughter’s bedroom. I updated the base with seashells to fit in her beachy bedroom.
Later this week I’ll be sharing the cute new shade I updated this lamp with.
In other exciting news… it’s almost time for another Countdown Party!! Next Friday, Feb. 15th the party will start. So get your Spring blog posts ready! We’d love to see your Spring décor, your favorite Easter recipes, crafts, mantels, wreaths… you name it. As long as it’s Spring related… come join the party!
Thanks for stopping by friends… have a great rest of your week!
Please tell me what size mason jar you used. I tried it with a 24ounce and the shade hung to far down over it. Also what size shade did you use.
Maybe this is a dumb question.. but how does the lampshade attach?
I have a lot of small lamps you use the lightbulb after you place the shade on you screw the lightbulb in it holds the shade in place if you don’t have a small lamp you can get the small lampshade at a dollar general or any type of store similar pick one up for 5$ or less hope this helps
Buu a clip on lamp shade
I love this idea. I am going to make this for my kitchen and use either whole coffee beans or wine corks in place of the shells. Thank you.
I love this Maryann! I am sending to my mom- it would go perfectly in her coastal guest room!

Hello, thank you for sharing your tutorial. I love the idea. I found a box full of mason jars last weekend at a yard sale and I was looking for some ideas to use them for crafts. And I stumbled upon your blog. I have included a link to your page from mine. I do hope that is ok. If not please let me know I will have it removed. Thank you again for the great post!
Kind regards,
Heather

This is so creative and pretty – love the shells inside! I actually featured it today on my mason jar light round-up 🙂

Pure awesomeness!!!!!
Yet ANOTHER reason to love Mason Jars!
Thanks so much for the tutorial, Maryann. I bought one years ago and have antique buttons in it in my craft room ~ now I can make another one and save some cash. You are so creative.
Oh my, I love this! I just got some awesome vintage jars from the flea market and this would be perfect =)
Oh that would be gorgeous Kristin!
Mason jars are like drop cloth, they can be used for so many different projects. This one is super cute, thanks for the tutorial 🙂 Hugs, Teresa
Totally agree Teresa ~ I think they can fit into any decor style.
Ah I love mason jars, lamps and shells. How did you know? 😉 Such a great project!
Thanks Steph! I can't get enough of them either!
