If only we can contain everything great about Christmas in a jar.
Wait…actually we can, but only snippets and packets of it. Which is still great because there are many things Christmas can do to a mason jar…or is it the other way around?
1. Make Enthralling Mason Jar Christmas Luminaries
The very essence of elegance in a jar. These luminaries are very captivating especially when paired with the sparkling lights of your Christmas tree.
4. Candle-Lit Mason Jar Table Runner with Fir and Holly
Decorating the table with these jars of glamorous red and green and white is like the best hug you’ve been waiting all day. They are so warm to the eyes and the heart.
Old things are valuable things. And Valuable things should be preserved, and that is the sole purpose of a mason jar during the holidays–preserving the happiness.
Here is one romantic candle jar that can be easily made using a candle, epsom salt on the bottom that symbolizes the snow, fir twigs, a couple of pinecones on the top tied to a lace in white color.
8. Decorate Your Party with a Sparkling Candle Light Jar
For this sweet combination put red and white and green and white candies, tie red and green twines in oily on the top of jars and put some fir twigs around the jars.
The figurines of some village, cottage or church under the snow could be found anywhere during Christmas time and they are becoming boring, but if you put them in the jar with Epsom salt on the bottom with some glitter simulating the sparkling snow, you can make beautiful snow globe.
Make a cute glitter reindeer from your jar using the brown, draw eyes, cut them and glue them on the jar. Make the hors from strings and sheathe them with plush. If you want to go bold – try rose gold Christmas decoration.
If you prefer simplicity and basic Christmas symbols, put Epsom salt with glitter on the bottom of the jar, some pinecones, a mistletoe and there you are!
Want to paint on your jar? You don’t have to be perfect artist. Even if some lines aren’t perfectly drawn, you can draw a funny Snowman. The kids will definitely love it.
18. Elevate Your Holiday Spirit with a Trio of Colored Jars
A simple but a festive trio. Paint your three jars in different colors like in this example, decorate them with pinecone and fill them with springs of mistletoe.
You don’t need many details to get effective Christmas jar. This is what you will need to do in order to get this great snow globe:
A clear plastic or glass bottle 1/4 full of rubbing alcohol.
Add one drop of food coloring if you want to give the liquid mix some color (and make it easier to differentiate the alcohol layer from the layer of oil that we will add next). Fill the remainder of the bottle with baby or vegetable oil (the oil will sit on top of the alcohol). Leave a bit of room in the lid area for the tiny, shiny stuff.
Add glitter, sequins, small beads or any other tiny, shiny objects.
Fill the remainder of the bottle, all the way to the rim, with baby oil.
Screw the lid on tightly. Tape it so it does not come loose (or apply a little glue to the inside of the lid before twisting in on).Note: If you are using a wide-mouth jar for your bottle, you can also glue some sort of decoration (e.g. church, snowman, Christmas tree, plastic deer, etc.) to the inside of the lid before putting the lid on the jar.
Gently shake the bottle to mix the alcohol and oil together. The mixture will turn a milky color and the shiny stuff will float and spin in the mixture.
Allow the mixture to settle. The oil will separate from the alcohol after about 5 minutes.
The steps are the same as for the previous example, you can make your own Christmas jar using:mason jars, metallic glass paint and silkscreen snowflake stencils.
23. Transform Narrow Jars into Enchanting Candle Holders
In order to make this beautiful Christmas tree you will need a snowy tree, a mason jar and glitter. This can be perfect for someone who appreciates handmade presents (and really, who doesn’t??) They’re my favorite kind of gifts 🙂
25. Festive Snow Globe with Snowman and Christmas Tree
You can make this fun snow globe with a quick trip to your local craft store along with a few things you probably have around your home you can make these fun globes. This snow globe with a Snowman and a Christmas tree will definitely attract attention of every child.
Fill the jar with botanicals like cranberries, dried orange slices, pine cones, cinnamon sticks and some fresh cedar from the yard. Fill the jar with oil, and then add your floating wick. You can use a piece of an old candle’s wick when the original one burns up.
27. Upgrade Your Jars with Christmas Snowman Decor
In order to make these beautiful painted Snowman Christmas jars, you will need acrylic paint, ribbon and tea light. Paint the jar any color that you like, and after that paint the Snowman with white color. When you finish the painting tie a ribbon around the jar and put a tea light inside.
28. Classic Red Vintage Christmas Jar with Holly and Fir
Make more interesting deer Christmas jars, drawing and cutting the reindeer’s eyes, put some horns made of wires and fill the jar with your favorite Christmas delight.
For this idea use small jars and fill them with candies. You can use white felt balls and a red cone to create a Christmas hat and stick the pompoms to complete the Christmas jar.
31. Celebrate Christmas with a Simple Rustic Candle Jar
All you need to make this super easy snow globe is a jar (a good shape and size for your tree), bottle brush trees, buffalo snow or any type of faux snow and glue dots.
Here we have a jar candle holder that features an adorable Snowman catching a snowflake on the tip of its nose. This will definitely perfect addition to your holiday décor.
If you are searching for something really simple, clean and elegant, make yourself some of these candle holders with those jars that you’ve been collecting.
Snow, candles and pinecones will be a classic match for Christmastime.
41. Upcycle a Jar with Snowflakes using Coats and Stamps
You can use three coats for this jar. Apply light handed coats with painting brush since, adding many paint layers will wrinkle and drag the coats you already applied.
You can pick the snowflake stamp in one of those holiday stamping sets. A thin twine tie, bells and there you have it, a cute holiday decor piece.
This is the project so effortless to do, especially with the supplied templates, but don’t be afraid to create your own scene.
Don’t forget that the fake snow is a temporary thing that will eventually come off, so if you want something more permanent that you can use again next year, consider flecking white paint with a toothbrush instead.
