 DIY Homemade Christmas Gift Idea


snowman mason jars



What do you think about these little guys?  Aren't they adorable - stacked jar hot chocolate snowmen!

They are super easy to make!  All you need is a few jars - you can use mason jars, or little jam jars, ingredients to make delicious hot chocolate (marshmallows + hot chocolate powder) and I added some pepermint candies in the bottom.  I made the top hats out of black cardboard and the scarves out of checkered fabric.  Then I just drew on the face and buttons with a sharpie pen.   

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends!  
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hang some holiday sparkle

An easy, yet splashy holiday decorating tip is to hang baubles at various lengths from your chandelier for extra bling. I like to use iridescent ribbon cut in varying lengths and inexpensive Christmas balls in an assortment of colours and finishes to give my chandelier some extra holiday sparkle!
