Step 3. Take the skill saw and place it into the hole you drilled and cut out the inner piece out of the slab of wood

Step 4. Decide which side of the wood you want to use as the top of the chandelier and which to use as the bottom end.

Step 5. Take 5 of the eye screws and screw them into the slab of wood however you want to hang the mason jars off of them

Step 6. Then on the opposite side of the slab of wood take the remaining 4 screws and place them evenly apart on the top part of the wood.

Step 7. Then hang the chains off of the 4 eye screws to and prepare to hang it off of a limb or beam of your choosing.

You can make the utility wire different lengths to give the chandelier a unique characteristic if you choose. Make sure you make a hoop at the top of the wire to hang the mason jars from the 5 eye screws.

Step 9. Place the tea light candles of your choosing in the mason jars

Step 10. Hang the mason jars on the 5 eye screws according
