AMERICAN FLAG DIY LANTERNS

large glass or mason jars (clean and with labels removed) small American flags (most grocery stores, drug stores, etc have them near the checkout this time of year) Mod Podge Gloss Votive candles or tea lights

Start by carefully removing the flags from the wood dowel rods using scissors or a craft knife. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the back of a flag. Position the flag evenly on a jar, smoothing any wrinkles or air bubbles that may form. Repeat with additional jars and let dry. Then apply a thin layer of Mod Podge atop each flag to seal it to the jar. After the jars have dried, place a candle in each. If your jars have a bit of a bump in the bottom, you may want to pour a bit of sand in the bottoms and nestle the candles in the sand. Your patriotic mason jar lanterns are complete!
