In a few days we have to get to the Christmas decorations. As recycling lovers that we are, we are going to propose some Christmas crafts with glass jars.

So go saving all those mason jars and take note;)

The best way to recycle mason jars

During the Christmas season we generate more waste. This is because we eat more meals and dinners with family and friends and therefore consume more food and drink.

From Baidal you know that we always encourage you to recycle everything possible and deposit the garbage in the corresponding containers.

If we buy foods that are packaged in glass jars, we can reserve a few to decorate them and make them part of our Christmas atmosphere.

In addition, after the holidays, we can deposit them in the glass container.

To make the decoration of this jar we need:

– One or more empty and clean glass jars.

-Common salt or epson salt that is a little larger and will give us a more “snowflake” appearance.

-Rope.

-Glue, which is usually used for crafts.

-Candles or Led lights.

-Pineapples, green leaves, berries …

Making these beautiful jars that will look great in our Christmas decorations is very easy:

-Once empty, wash and dry the glass jar well.

-We put the glue all over the outside of the jar with the help of a brush.

-Next, sprinkle the salt all over the jar, being careful not to touch the glue.

-We let it dry for about 20 minutes.

-We tie with the rope two pineapples, berries, leaves or any other element that we like and we think it looks good.

-We put the rope around the neck of the jar.

-To finish, we put a candle or Led lights, whatever we prefer, inside the jar.

Jars and candles are the perfect combination for Christmas decorations.

We can simply put red or white candles inside the jar and that’s it or we can add something else.

Need:

-A clean glass jar.

-A candle.

-Salt.

-Decoration berries.

-A piece of ribbon, either made of fabric or red wool.

Elaboration:

-We put salt in the jar until a little less than half.

-We place the candle in the center.

-Around the candle we put the decoration berries.

-We make a bow on the neck of the jar with the ribbon.

If the jar is a good size, we can create our own Christmas passage inside.

It is very easy and we can use ornaments that we have at home, even our children’s dolls, they will love it.

Necessary elements:

-A clean glass jar.

-Cotton

-Some Christmas figure, such as a snowman, a tree or any figure that we like and that fits inside the jar.

-A few tree twigs.

-A piece of cloth.

-Rope or wool.

Elaboration:

-We put cotton in the jar until the entire bottom is covered.

-We place the figure or figures that we have chosen.

-We put the branches to look like a tree.

-We close the jar and place the piece of cloth covering the lid.

-We tie the fabric with rope, thread or wool, making a loop.

Recycling is fun, as you can see and all it brings us are advantages.

These are just a few examples, but imagination to power!

With a glass jar and a few elements you can create a Christmas decoration to your liking and totally personalized.
