Camping season is now in full swing, and every now-and-again we hear of crafty and clever ways to perfect the art of enjoying the outdoors. This quaint and penny-pinching device/trick comes directly from my mom and we think its certainly worth sharing! Explained directly from the source (Linda Gillard), here's what it is:
An easy to make auxiliary light perfect for car camping or at home. Magical illumination in multiples with different sized jars. The different jars create unique light patterns.
What's needed:
- Wide-mouth lid canning jars, pint through half-gallon sized.
- LED Tap Lights (one per jar), needs to be smaller than than the lid.
- AAA batteries (most tap lights do not provide them).
Assembly:
Tap Lights, with their self-adhesive bases, can easily be attached to the underside of the lids. Tap "on", then re-assemble the jar with the lid and the band.
Some practical uses:
- Great light for playing cards or games at the camp table.
- Highlighting uneven walking surfaces and pathways.
- Great night light for children's early camp-outs in the backyard.
