This is one of those crafts that I said last year: ".....I'll do that next year"... lo and behold, it is next year and I'm finally doing it! You should too, it's really, really simple and looks oh so cute.
Here is what you need:
Glass jars/bottles
Bristle trees
Powdered snow/Snowflakes
White gold Glitter (optional)
Mod Podge (optional, for glittering)
Glue gun
Clean metal primer
Glossy white spray paint
The first thing that you'll want to do is prime and spray paint the lids of each jar and let them dry (overnight is best). I chose white, but of course you could do red, any color you want.
Next, I glittered the trees with white gold glitter, this is just a little added detail....this step is completely optional, it just added a little shine.
I used all sorts of bottles, from pickle jars to baby food jars....try to match up a tree that is in proportion to your jar.
Hot glue the trees into the lid:
Pour snowflakes into jar, screw on lid,
flip over.....they are ready to display! I didn't feel the need to permanently secure the lid, the hand tightening seem just fine.
I placed mine in the window sill in the kitchen, but of course, you could display them anywhere.
I think they would make a cute centerpiece or on a mantle too
Too cute!
I hope you are inspired to give this a try, it's too easy not to!
