Iced Mason Jars

Baby, it’s cold outside.

Well, kinda.  It’s more like chilly.

But, inside The Everyday Home –

there is “frost” on mason jars.

Ok, not exactly “frost”…but it sure looks like frost.

Today I am sharing this easy DIY project you

will want to add to your Christmas decor….

Easy Iced Mason Jars

 

I am so excited to be part of another

Mason Jar Monday Blog Hop.

{Christmas Edition}

Wait until you see all of the great projects this month.

It’s a Mason Jar Christmas Extravaganza. 

Please visit each of the blogs below.

I love creating something for very little money.

In the case of this project, I spent zero dollars.

I recycled a mason jar and used greens from

my own yard to create a simple wreath surround.

The other two “ingredients” for this project

were Elmer’s Glue and Epsom salts.

The salt is what gives the jar its “icy” look,

and it’s so easy to apply.  Simply paint on a thick layer

of glue. (any glue will work)  Then roll the jar in

the salts.  Press the salt lightly into the glue to

adhere it well.

Then let it sit to completely dry.

The salt will mix with the glue and harden once dried.

I cut some boxwood and cedar and made a small

wreath to encircle the iced jar. 

*( I’ll show you how to make one of these later this week)

I placed the candle and the wreath on top of a

recycled cake plate stand.

A cute stamped snowflake tag tied with jute adds 

a rustic touch.

I love the sparkle of the jar.  It’s just as pretty with the

light of the sun coming through as it is the candlelight.

I think I will make a series of these to place

in a large dough bowl, and fill it with more greens.
