Making It Hangable
You will need 3 or 4 pieces of wire around 30" long, I doubled up the floral wire for strenght and to add a little something to the finished product.. Pretty simple, wrap the wire around the jar below the screw cap and twist to hold it tight
Repeat
repeat the above step 3 or 4 times depending on how many wires you want your lamp to hang from
Connect
Now connect the wires at the top, making sure the lamp will hang level, add another short piece as a loop to hang from
Make It a Lamp
Drill or cut a hole in the lid to fit your wick
Assembly
cut your wick to lenght and insert in the lamp, fill the jar with oil and let the wick soak for an hour or so
Hang It Up and Enjoy
Find a place in a tree or other location to hang your lamp and enjoy
