Mason jar chandelier



These stunning DIY chandeliers are absolutely gorgeous and are not only perfect for a rustic, country cottage kitchen or dining room, but for outdoor and barn weddings. This look was popularized by Pottery Barn -- but with their version costing almost $400, it's no surprise people are taking to creating their own. To make yours stand out, spray paint the jars a crackle pattern with crackle paint for an iridescent and unique look.
