I have so many Christmas decorations from years past and so much stuff from closing my store that I just cannot justify buying new and trendy Christmas decor. So when a blogger friend said she was putting together a blog hop of about re-inventing items for Christmas decor, I thought…YES!
Some of my favorite decor items are my collection of blue ball jars that belonged to my MIL. I’ve also collected others over the years.
What better way to give them a fresh new display than to re-imagine them for Christmas??! I had the perfect idea in mind. A quick trip to the local Dollar Tree and I was ready to go!
Our local Dollar Tree was stocked with wonderful items for Christmas!
All of these things were…yes…ONE DOLLAR!
I had so much fun switching out the items and creating different vignettes. If you don’t have any ball jars, just grab some other suitable vessels. Like these cannisters I purchased for My Tuscan Inspired Kitchen reveal.
And if you don’t have a ball jar, Dollar Tree to the rescue! They had these cute little glass items for a dollar each!
Start by adding your snow to the jar or bowl.
If you have a neutral Christmas theme, you can use white bottle brush trees. Just set them on top of the snow.
Add color with other little doodads like these tiny presents that I found for 50% off at Hobby Lobby. They were $1.49.
If you like more color, use green trees or a combination of trees.
Add color and little props to suit your style.
No. 3 just renovated and moved into the cutest little camper. So I made this little guy for her.
I did have to put some support under the cute little truck and camper as they were substantially heavier than the trees and presents. They actually sunk in the snow! Lol…DIY to the rescue.
I added a little cardboard box to the bowl first. then I positioned the items and added the snow.
You can add additional color to your Ball globe with a cute but simple bow.
I’m very happy with how this quick little project turned out.
It took about 10 minutes and added so much Christmas spirit to a little corner of my home! And the best part is that I simply chose to repurpose some everyday items for Christmas!
Below is the link to the other projects completed by my blogger friends! A huge thank you to Allison O’Dell from American School of Charm for coordinating this hop. I can’t wait to browse these great ideas!
