How to make Glass Jar Lampshade - DIY Craft Project from Craftbits.com
Project rating Project rating Project rating Project rating
  • Glass containers of any size(I have used 2 simple square containers).
    glass liner
    glass paints

First you'll need to clean and dry the glass containers.
Then based on the pattern you like, you can either draw free hand designs with a glass liner on the outside of the glass or can take the help of any templates to draw.

Leave it dry for 45 minutes.

Once dry you can fill in glass colors as per your choice or the design requirement,when the design's done,leave it to dry for half a day.

NOTE:After coloring,the container should not be moved,as there is the chance the paints may flow out of the liner(design),it should be untouched until dry.

After it's dry, a small bulb in a holder can be placed inside,to use it as a lampshade or try using a battery operated light or small tea-light candle

(I have used 2 containers, placed them one over the other to create a different effect.

Do you raise the jar up on something to let air in, so the candle can burn?

Yeah, what they said about venting the heat how do you do that with both of the jars enclosed on each other good idea but you might need to work on some tid bits. :)

a candle won't burn without oxygen. Also, would put something round the middle as still looks like 2 jars, one on top of the other

Don't you need to vent the heat from the bulb or a candle?
