This beautiful craft is here just in time for the winter holiday season. What a wonderful addition to decor to make things feel nice crisp and a little country with the mason jar, jingle bells, and the beautiful reflection of light on the "snow" in the jar.

How to make the Jingle Bell Jar:

You will need:

Canning Jars (how ever many you want)
Epsom Salts
Enough candles so each jar has one.
Jute or ribbon
Jingle bells

To make:

Wrap or tie your jute or ribbon around the top of the jar, stringing on bells intermittently. (Use photo for a guide) add other decor items if you so choose. Fill jar a little less than halfway with epsom salts. Place candle in middle.

Now that doesn't sound so hard does it? Depending on how you decorate your jars they can be anything from quirky, to country, to elegant, or chic. Have fun with it! Just don't leave any candles burning unattended!
