How to make a Frosty Christmas Jar

These jars make for great Christmas decor, you can pop a tea light in them, and they make a great gift too!

What’s needed…

• A glass jar
• Tacky glue
• Paint brush
• Plate or dish
• Epsom salt
• Silver glitter
• Ribbon or twine
• Any other decorative items to add – e.g holy, berries, etc
• Hot glue gun

What to do…

• Clean and dry your jar(s)
• On a plate or in a dish- mix the Epsom salt and glitter (I would say you need less than a cup of the salt per jar…obviously depending on the size if the jar….and the amount of glitter is up to you!)
• Using the paint brush, cover one of your jars in glue (don’t do the bottom of or inside the jar)
• Either roll the jar in the salt/glitter mix or use your hands to pour/sprinkle it on to the jar.
• When the jar is covered leave to dry. We left ours for a couple if hours. (We played a few games while we waited!) If you are doing more than one jar then repeat the above!
• When dry, take your twine and/or ribbon and the rest of the decoration you have chosen and arrange. Once happy with the arrangement, glue the bits that need keeping in place.
• Job done ✔
