Thanks for this so creative idea! Just found it and have shared your page link here as suggested family project. Also have given another inner version of applying it imaginatively. See here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Inner-Universe/565681800110195

I’m so glad I found this post! I actually found your project on pinterest on this site: http://www.surprisediy.com/diy-249.html, which appears to have scraped your content. So you may want to look into that if you did not give them your images.

All that to say….I think your project is awesome! I started trying to find the original source because we are planning to feature it on Dollar Store Crafts sometime in the next week.

All the Best,

Looks like a wonderful craft to use this summer with the kids who come camping at the state park.
I am wondering what the “stars” would look like if the holes where punched with the tip of a Phillips screwdriver. (I think I will try the small to medium head Phillips as they kind of already look like stars.) Will have to be careful not to punch too deeply or will lose the pattern.

We made these using coffee cans. Fill them with water, freeze to hold the shape, use hammer and nails to punch the holes, let water melt and done. No cuttung involved.
Lots of tutorials for these on the web, look for can lanterns.

What a wonderful idea! :) I love it!
Do you know by any chance where I could get the small led click light?

Do you think it would be practical to put a candle inside the jar rather than a led light?

Thank you for insipiring post!

I love this neat constellation jar! I think it’s amazing and love that it can be made without having to purchase a lot of expensive materials. I hope that it’s okay, I just finished a frugal crafts round-up and just couldn’t resist featuring this. You can see it here: http://jamiebrock.hubpages.com/hub/Frugal-Crafts-15-Easy-Craft-Ideas

I also linked to this heArt of mine and let her know as well. Thank you so much for sharing :)

You may need to see if the pan could cut the kids fingers before you do it in a classroom, but I love this idea!

Brilliant!We were discussing the other day the revtliae merits of two instructional media: books vs. video/blogging. This video illustrates the advantages of blogs as instructional media.I would guess that this video took you less than 30 minutes to make.To have written and illustrated this same tip for inclusion in a book would have taken much longer. And books are much harder and more expensive to distribute.From the learner’s viewpoint, the video conveys this tip more vividly, efficiently and usefully. The blog also facilitates for feedback to the author.Books have one advantage, I guess: longevity. You can put them on the shelf for later reference.Can you think of any other advantages books might have?

wow what a great idea, i love how this is so simple and easy to do! do you think if i spry painted the jar instead of using tin foil will have the same effect? and what would i do if i wanted to make a larger scale out of this project, how would i actually install on the room light?

This is amazing! I think I’ll make one. I don’t have any children, but I’m sure my dog would get a kick out of this! :) What a great tutorial!

Ashley.. The L.E.D light shown in the image works by pressing the glass in the middle, this could be done with the end of a pencil or something without removing the light from the jar.. The take AAA batteries and last quite a long time & the bulbs themselves, being L.E.Ds, will last yonks too :)

I’m just wondering, how long do these lights last? Do they have batteries you can replace? If so, what kind? And how does the on/off work? Do you have to try and maneuver the light in and out of the jar each time?
