Instructions

  • Start by painting your clean jar with the frost gloss enamels. Add one coat and allow to dry.
  • For the second coat, use a sponge pouncer brush for the "snow" look to the jar. Allow to dry completely.
  • Use hot glue and plaid fabric to make a snowman hat. Wrap the jar lid in the fabric then trim to size with scissors. Use hot glue to close up the seam. Add twine to the top of the hat to complete.
  • Trim the knob off the end of the snowman nose with scissors.
  • Add the buttons and snowman nose to the front of the jar with hot glue.
  • Tie on a plaid ribbon scarf.
  • Add in a battery operated tea light.
  • Screw on the lid with the hat.
