DIY Mason Jar Ceiling Fan Globes

We had a farmhouse style bedroom and my wife wanted mason jars as ceiling fan globes. It is an easy project and great for beginner DIYers!

Mason Jar, Drill, Hole Saw, Paint, Paint Supplies

Select the perfect mason jar based on the look you are wanting and the size of the bulb you ceiling fan needs.

Remove your existing globe (Globe not shown for clarity) by unscrewing the nut from the socket.

Use the nut from the ceiling fan to trace the hole needed in the jar lid to fit the ceiling fan socket.

It is best to clamp the lid down to some lumber prior to drilling the lid. The hole saw size will be determined by the nut that came off of your ceiling fan.

Use a file to clean up any sharp edges caused by the hole saw.

Spray paint the lid and ring to your desired color. We chose black because we wanted a farmhouse look to go with our shiplap ceiling.

Simply place the lid over the ceiling fan socket and tighten the nut until the lid is completely secured.

Use an LED bulb since you are using an enclosed mason jar as the globe. Using a standard bulb could cause the globe to bust due to the heat put off from the bulb.

To install the mason jars, simply screw the jars onto the mason jar lids already attached to the ceiling fan.

Now you are ready to turn on the lights and enjoy you new project!
