Mason jars coated in decoupage glue and rolled in coarse salt for a frosted look, tied with twine and greenery and lit with fairy lights.
What You’ll Need
Mason jarsor any recycled glass jars
Hemp twine or jute twine
Mod Podge (original matte) or a craft glue that dries clearsuch as Elmer's
Regular salt or kosher salt (coarse kosher salt works best)
Natural or artificial pine conesberries, and conifer cuttings
Battery-powered LED fairy string lightsor white votive candles
Optional: clear acrylic spray (reader's tip for sealing the salt)
Directions
Move fast, before the glue sets. Spread glue or Mod Podge evenly over the outside of the jar with no dry patches and no drips (keep the top rim bare).
Hold a handful of salt over the glued surface and sprinkle it on as you turn the jar. Do not touch the glued, salted area.
Let it dry in a warm spot for 10 to 20 minutes, then gently brush off any loose salt.
Wrap twine around the rim of each jar. Bundle berry sprigs and/or conifer cuttings together with twine, then glue the bundle onto the twine at the rim.
Drop a switched-on battery LED fairy light into the jar, or set a white votive candle inside (1.5-inch LED candles fit most jar openings).
