This is a project that was actually done by my sister-in-law
as Christmas gifts and I am so jealous that I didn’t think of it because it is
so “me” and I love it! They were
definitely a big hit with the family on Christmas Eve. First of all it begins with one of my
favorite things a glass Ball canning jar.
There are so many uses for them and they have such a great look. Not only that but they also hold up pretty
well when dropped (don’t ask how I know, but my middle name is definitely not
“Grace”).
She started with a set of battery powered mini string
lights. She covered the not so pretty battery pack with
glittery blue ribbon so the on off switch was still accessible as well as the
batteries. Inside the jar were blue and
white and silver small ornaments with sea shells. She arranged the lights around the shells and
ornaments and tied a big glittery blue bow on the outside.
The fun thing about this is it doesn’t have to be just for
Christmas. Combine craft store sea glass
and shells for an everyday coastal look.
They also make great centerpieces for a party. The possibilities are endless. I plan on getting a case of jars and some
lights and seeing how many designs I can come up with!
