Well, not real snow.
I've seen these sweet snowy jars all over and decided I needed to make some.
I love jars anyway, and candles too.
I got my supplies, set it all up, and was done in five minutes or less.
Just that easy.
Paint the jars generously with Decopage. Place epsom salts in a pie tin and roll
the jars in the salt until covered. Let dry for up to a day.
Decorate with twine and whatever you have to add to the twine.
I wasn't totally happy with what I used, but it was what I had on hand.
Put in a little tea light and it makes a great decoration or hostess gift, etc.
Just know you don't want to handle it too much as it will shed a little snow!
I'll show you more of how I used them on a table later this week.

What a cute idea and sounds easy too! They look very pretty. Thanks for sharing, have a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteA pretty craft ! They remind me of Christmas as a child. My mom would always have a large snowy candle with a scene on it. She didn't make them or anything and probably got them in the local five and dime but I recall the advent candle tradition and your pretties reminded me of them! :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable and easy too! I think I have some jars I can use. :) Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteThey're cute!
ReplyDeleteI love them! I'm all in as soon as I Google "decoupage".
ReplyDeleteBest,

I love these and have always wanted to do them. Thanks for the reminder. Do you suppose I'll get them done this year??

ReplyDeleteThe snow covered jars look very nice Dotsie, and with a tea light inside create a magical wintry display. I read epsom salts as an item to make the jars and it jogged my memory that I'm out of them and will have to buy more. I use them around woody shrubs and roses in the spring garden.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
I love candles. The addition of something to make the light glitter is the icing on the cake, so to speak. What a great idea! Looking forward to seeing what you did with them.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! Especially since I already have epsom salt on hand. But I don't have the stuff for decopage, so I googled "homemade decopage" and found out you can use elmer's glue watered down (half and half).
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Dotsie! They do look encrusted with snow. A nice craft to do with older grandchildren
ReplyDeleteI love them! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I made some, too, and yes, they do shed! lol! Magical little gifts though!
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well, my friend!

What a wonderful idea and I happen to have a few old jars sitting around and some decoupage mix...all I need is the Epson Salt. Happy week~
ReplyDeleteOh I really love these and even I could make them!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I love these! And I have some epsom salts...I need to get them out and craft! Holiday hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love how epsom salt sparkles!

These are just beautiful....and I love your new header too :)
ReplyDeleteThese snowy jars look like delightful hostess gifts or a charming addition to a seasonal display! I love something that is easily crafted, but makes such a statement.
ReplyDeleteSweet project! They look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow very pretty they are. I must try this...though right now I don't know when!!! Well done!!!! Cathy
