Glass Jars Add Light And Shine To Your Fence

Using glass jars, you can make your fence light up and shine. Add a small LED candle inside the glass jar, and you have a safe makeshift “lantern.”

Alternatively, you can also use the glass jars as planters, but be sure to add drainage holes on the bottom.
