I love decorating for fall, but buying all the decor I want can be expensive. Sometimes it’s nice to just make things on your own. This year I made this adorable Fall Leaf Mason Jar Luminary and I love the way it turned out!

Make your home pretty in a flash with a Fall Leaf Mason Jar Luminary DIY. They're easy to do, and cost just pennies on the dollar! #autumn #homedecor #fall #myhomebasedlife #masonjarcrafts | Fall Leaf Mason Jar Luminary | Luminary DIY | Fall Craft | Easy Fall DIY | Fall Home Decor | Easy Fall Home Decor | Home Decor DIY |

These fall jars are perfect for the season and make me smile every time I look at them. We also make a slow cooker apple cider recipe, that has become a tradition. It’s also delicious and makes our house smell HEAVENLY!

If you don’t want to use real candles for your fall mason jars, you can always use fake candles as they work just as well. Be sure to turn them off before you go to bed, or your batteries will die in no time! If you use real candles, small tea lights work just fine. The fall jars catch and spread the light really easily so a little goes a long way! Be sure to use unscented, or to pick the same scent, or scents that work well together. Just don’t mistakenly use a Hawaiian breeze scented candle with a cinnamon apple!
