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) (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). 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). 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).

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

Adhere the Crochet lace around the mason jar.

Using a paintbrush and Mod Podge (affiliate) Matte finish, start from the back and paint the Mod Podge (affiliate) across longways on the mason jar (affiliate). 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). 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) 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) under the mason jar and adhere the unfinished crochet edge to the mason jar. 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). 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) 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).
