DIY Snowy Mason Jars – create faux snow-covered mason jar luminaries for the holiday season

DIY Snowy Mason Jars – create faux snow-covered mason jar luminaries for the holiday seasonHOW TO MAKE SNOWY MASON JARS

Happy Friday, friends! I’m so excited to kick off the official start of the holiday season. In the blogging world, we sometimes have to work months ahead so I’ve been anxiously waiting to share some holiday content with you guys. One of my favorite holiday decorating projects I shared on the DecoArt blog a few years ago are these DIY Snowy Mason Jars. I realized I never shared them here so I thought I would create a quick tutorial. These are perfect for decorating your mantle, dining table or front porch. I decorated my jars with a piece of faux greenery with tiny berries and a twine bow. Then added a battery-operated tea light inside. I love the way they glow at night and look beautiful on my Christmas mantle.

Supplies:
Mason Jars
Glue I’ve used THIS GLUE and THIS ONE (both work great)
Epsom Salt use the left over to make —> Bath Salt Ornaments!
Glitter  <— this looks beautiful and adds a little sparkle to your jars
Greenery & twine
Flameless tea lights
Hot glue

DIY Snowy Mason Jars

  • Combine 1 cup of Epsom salt with a tablespoon of glitter in a disposable plate or bowl. Depending on how many jars you plan to make, you may need more.
  • Apply a layer of glue around the mason jar. Be careful not to layer it on too thick or the glue will start to drip once the Epsom salt is applied. I used tacky glue for these and it worked really well. You can also use decoupage glue.

  • Sprinkle the glitter Epsom salt around the jar until evenly covered. Place the jars on a cleanable surface or paper (newspaper, wax paper, etc.) in case glue drips down while drying. Allow the jars to dry for several hours, preferably overnight.DIY Snowy Mason Jars – create faux snow-covered mason jar luminaries for the holiday season
  • Cut a small piece or faux greenery and use a dot of hot glue to adhere to the top of the jar. You can find holiday greenery at most craft stores during this time of year. You could even add fresh greenery from your yard. Then wrap twine around the mouth of the jar a few times and tie off with a bow. Add a flickering tea light to create luminaries for your holiday decor.

I can’t tell by the picture if the glue goes on the inside or outside of the mason jar.

Will this snow fall off or can it be sealed with some sort of spray. They are very pretty. Wish I had seen them sooner.

Hello. Do you have a good resource for greenery (used in the DIY snowy Mason jars)? The stuff I’m seeing is far too fake looking to use. Thanks in advance for you help. You have too many good ideas to share. :)

The outside of the jar. I applied the glue to the outside and covered it in epsom salt. But you may be on to something – less messy if it’s inside! Please let us know if you try it :)

Just don’t put the glue and salt on the inside and then use a real candle. Don’t think that would work out well.
