Ingredients

  • Jars The jars I used for this project were various leftovers from spaghetti sauce, etc. so I spent nothing on those.
  • Lights
  • Sea Glass/Creek Glass The glass pieces cost nothing except the time it took to dig it up and clean it.

Instructions

  • Gather your supplies.

  • Add the sea glass to the jars.
  • Attach the solar powered lids to the jars, placing the lights where they accentuate the sea glass. (The exact ones I used are discontinued).
