Christmas isn't here quite yet, but that doesn't mean you can't start dreaming of how you want to decorate your home for the holiday season. No matter what your decor style, you'll probably want to include a few pretty lights, and these pine luminaries hit just the right note of festive and charming.

This project couldn't be any easier to make, and you'll even be able to take out the contents and reuse the mason jar when you're ready to put it away. Check out the video and the instructions below to learn how to make a luminary with evergreen appeal.

Materials
- Faux pine branch
- Wire cutters
- Glitter spray
- Sheet of cardboard
- Mason jar with lid
- Battery-powered string lights
- Gaffer tape

Instructions
1. Trim the ends off the faux pine branches with wire cutters.

2. Place the trimmed branches on a sheet of cardboard and spray them with glitter spray.

3. Remove the lid from the mason jar. Place the first branch inside to make sure it will fit, folding the top of the branch down so it will be on the bottom of the jar.

4. Wrap the end of the string lights around the branch and place it back into the jar. Repeat with as many branches as you need to fill the jar.

5. Tape the light's battery pack to the inside of the lid, and screw the lid back onto the jar.
