One of the most fascinating things about the human mind is that it is able to reason about impossible things. This is not only possible – it’s rather enjoyable!
That is why kids love magical things and even some of us adults seem to have never outgrown our fascination with them.
You can easily hang them with shepherd's hooks and outdoor hanging brackets for eye-catching decoration. The fairy-tale lights will automatically turn on at night, turn off at dawn and start charging.
Well, what’s not to love about those cute dwarves, unicorns, and fairies?
Now if you or someone you know loves fairies or perhaps Peter Pan, then you might be interested in this DIY mason jar fairy lantern project…
This crafty DIY project is very easy; big kids can even make one for themselves. Just remember not to use real candles!

A mason jar fairy lantern would look good inside the bedroom as a night light.
Making a set is also great as living room decor or outdoor decor during Halloween. If you’ve got a fairy garden in your yard this makes a perfect addition!
Can you think of someone you can give this to as a gift?
