Tis the Season

I've always loved decorating for the holidays. We actually have a rule in our house now... We are allowed to put up the tree & decorate as of November 12th. I love the feeling of the decor, so warm & cozy. Especially in these dark winter months! 

My Christmas decor style is  vintage mixed with modern. I love traditional colors such as red, green & silver. I also like to incorporate some natural elements too such as wood & burlap. 

Winter Snow Globes

After buying these a few years ago & loving them I realized I needed to make them at home. This is the easiest & quickest little craft! Perfect for gifts too. What you will need:

- Mason jars (or a jar of any type)

- Bottle brush trees (found at craft stores)

- Twine

- Bag of snow

- Hot glue gun/ glue

I've kept it simple by just putting trees inside but you can add other items. Such as cars (put the tree on top), bunting, reindeer, etc. I'm sure Pinterest has a million ideas! 

Wrap twine or string around tree. Cut the string, then glue it. Next, glue the tree to the bottom of the lid. Pour the snow into the mason jar about half an inch. Twist the lid with tree onto the jar. Then you have your snow globe!
