Place the candle inside and hang the glasses in groups and at different heights. The version with paper napkins is also very pretty. To do this, place the napkin over the jar opening before screwing the lid on. In this way the garden party lights are dimmed a little.
This DIY idea is also easy to make. Simply make holes in the lids that are large enough for the bulb holders to fit through, but not the bulbs themselves. Then insert the sockets through the holes, screw the colorful light bulbs on and then the lids onto the mason jars. Then you can hang up the original fairy lights. Keep in mind that the glasses make this quite heavy.
