Ah, you’re likely referring to a craft or decorative idea using broken ornaments in a jar—a creative way to repurpose holiday ornaments instead of throwing them away. Here’s a guide:
Materials Needed
- Broken or chipped glass ornaments
- A clear glass jar (mason jar or decorative jar)
- Optional: glitter, fairy lights, or small pinecones
- Gloves (to protect hands from sharp edges)
Steps
- Safety first: Wear gloves when handling broken ornaments.
- Layer pieces: Carefully place broken ornament pieces in the jar. You can layer by color or size for visual appeal.
- Add extras (optional): Sprinkle in glitter, small pinecones, beads, or a string of battery-operated fairy lights for sparkle.
- Seal and display: Close the lid or leave open, and place the jar on a shelf, mantel, or table centerpiece.
- Optional finishing touch: Wrap a ribbon around the jar neck for a festive look.
Creative Ideas
- Holiday centerpiece: Mix broken ornaments with greenery or pine branches.
- Table accents: Small jars on a dining table with LED lights create a glowing effect.
- Memory jar: Use broken ornaments from past holidays as a sentimental display.
💡 Tip: You can also spray paint the jar inside or the ornament pieces before putting them in for a metallic or glittery look.
