This sweet little Toadstool Fairy House Jar Light has been designed using a 500g Homepride pasta sauce jar measuring 25cm around the widest circumference and 14.5cm in height up to the lid. Most glass jars have the same neck size of 21cm around the circumference with the lid on, this pattern can be adjusted to any jar with this neck measurement and instructions will be given to do so.
I have used a flickering effect LED tea light candle style light, you can use any battery powered LED lights inside for the jar light. Not for use with real flame candles, keep to LED lights to ensure it does not overheat.

The main fairy house is made using UK Chunky (Bulky) yarn. You may use 2 strands of DK together instead for the same gauge. Details are added using DK yarn. You may use any type of yarn for this project, I have used acrylic.

Written in US terms with UK conversion chart included. Photographs have been used throughout to help with instructions. A printer friendly version will also be included.
