The creative imaginations with crafting a Mason Jar lamp is that you
can fill the Mason jar with any quirky thing that you have around the house.
How about colored buttons. marbles or beach stones, sea glass, wooden spools,
maybe beans, just about anything that you would love to have displayed in your
lamp. Here are a few important safety tips to keep in mind.
