Winter Scenes - Mason Jar DIY


Happy Monday! Did everyone have a great weekend? I know mine went by way too fast. With a three day swim meet, I was not able to get much holiday decorating or shopping done. I did have time for a quick and easy holiday decoration using: mason jars, miniatures from the dollar store, and epsom salt. The total cost to make these was only $5!

~ Supplies ~
Mason jar
Miniature people, trees, etc
Epsom salt
Ribbon
Glue gun


Using the glue gun, adhere your miniatures to the bottom of the mason jar.
I used kitchen tongs to place them in the jar.


Once your miniatures are adhered, sprinkle some epsom salt 
into the bottom of the jar for a snow affect.


Add some ribbon to the top of the jar and your done!





I'm really happy with how they turned out! What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by and reading today!
