I love Holiday crafting. This year is my first Christmas with a baby, and with my husband working a crazy amount I just don’t have a lot of time on my hands for crafting. Instead of cut it out completely, this year I’m coming up with easy crafts that anyone short on time can do, and this is one that turns out beautifully.
I don’t need to include too many instructions here because part of the craft is to use your own imagination and to make an illusionary that caters to your tastes and house decor. Here are the supplies you need:
Just a heads up, all of these were 50% off this week at Hobby Lobby. What you’ll need: glass mason jars, any size, flameless candles (please don’t use real candles – fire hazard), Christmas decorating items (not sure the technical names for these but they have them at all craft stores), styrofoam.
Cut out styrofoam in the size of the jar you are using, and slide it in to the bottom of the jar. Cut off the branches of the different decorations you bought, and design in the jar the way you please, sticking the branches into the styrofoam. Leave room for the candle in the middle.
When you are done turn on the candle and slide it in the jar. Style in your home as you please. Voila – you’re done!
50% off at Hobby Lobby!!! I like a good sale, thanks for sharing. These are so pretty. Great Christmas craft. Those little battery operated candles are so handy to use when crafting! Please be sure to some over and share with us at the Home Matters Linky party! http://wp.me/p4fJXd-1eU

These are beautiful and look easy enough for a non-crafter:). Thanks for sharing! Your blog is very pretty!

What a sweet little holiday craft! I love mason jars, and the flameless candles give them such a pretty glow.
I wish I could figure out a way to use real candles and not have it be a fire hazard!
