A Very Merry Vintage Christmas

Published by

This Christmas I am embracing a little old nostalgia and I am having ‘A Very Merry Vintage Christmas’.  Last year I never got around to making a snow globe, however this year is a whole different story.  An easy to make eco chic snow globe can be used either as a decoration around the house or as a fun stocking stuffer. What you will need:  a recycled glass jar and lid (peanut/ almond butter jars are best), glitter, a plastic decoration ( I used a cake topper from Christmas past that I kept as a keepsake), and a glue gun. How to make your own: Step 1. Glue the decoration to the inside of the jar lid, this will be your focal point. Step 2. Once the focal point has dried, fill jar with water and add a few sprinkles of glitter.  I choose blue, to make it a little less ordinary. Step 3. Seal lid tightly, shake and watch the snow globe magic unfold.   Have fun!   Merry Christmas! with love, xo

Melted Snowman

Even though Christmas is now officially over, I would still like to share a fun and festive way to repurpose wine bottles.  I love to reuse them as chic water bottles.  For my Christmas Eve dinner party, I borrowed this idea from one of my best friends.  For tags I used business cards, and ribbon I had left over from previous Christmases.  What’s great is the tags can easily be used next Christmas.
