DIY Old Mason Jars to Hurricane Lamps

I had these crochet lace pillowcases when I was growing up, which I got to match my grandmother's crochet blanket. I haven't used it in years and wanted to do something with it to honor my grandmother. This post will share how I took these old mason jars (Affiliate Link) (from How to Create a Bathroom Wall Mason Jar Organizing Post) and turned them into DIY hurricane lamps. See how I upcycled the crochet pillowcase and repurposed non-food-grade mason jars (Affiliate Link). Follow along and see the transformation. It is amazing!

How to change old mason jars into DIY hurricane lamps?

Cut 7 inches of the crochet lace pillowcase.

Removing the back liner. Ensure the edges remain intact to serve as the top edge of the mason jar (Affiliate Link). You will need to cut the corners of this pillowcase. Ensure you have access to a decorative top and one decorative side for each crochet lace mason jar (Affiliate Link).

Tip: If you use a different size mason jar (Affiliate Link), make sure the crochet lace is about ½ inch wider so it will glue under the mason jar (Affiliate Link) and not be seen.

Adhere the Crochet lace around the mason jar.

Using a paintbrush and Mod Podge (Affiliate Link) Matte finish, start from the back and paint the Mod Podge (Affiliate Link) across longways on the mason jar (Affiliate Link). Apply the lace fabric with pressure as you go. You should end with a finished edge covering the unfinished edge. Be sure to line up the finished edge at the top of the opening as well. It has a slight stretch to it, so be sure to stretch it a bit to make it smooth. Add a good amount of glue to the mason jar (Affiliate Link). It will dry clear.

Use glue on mason jar and start pressing the crochet lace over the glue to adhere to jar

As you work your way around, be sure to glue as you go. The end of the crochet lace should show the end of the pillowcase, creating a finished edge.

overlap the decorative crochet lace over the unfinished edge

Tip: try not to paint the top of the crochet lace with the Mod Podge (Affiliate Link) Matte finish, it will make the lace dark.

Add Mod Podge to the bottom of the mason jar.

Make sure to run a Mod Podge (Affiliate Link) under the mason jar (Affiliate Link) and adhere the unfinished crochet edge to the mason jar (Affiliate Link). Press it down and let it dry for a day.

glue the lace to the bottom of the mason jar

Make the remaining mason jars.

I did the same with the other mason jars (Affiliate Link). I had three jars I wanted to do like this. Just by chance, I had three different tints on the jars. It gave a cool effect when I added the electronic candles (Affiliate Link) inside.

Here's the finished project! What do you think of my electric DIY hurricane lamps? Cool right? I do not recommend using real candles (Affiliate Link).
