{Eleventh Day of Whimsy – Snow Dust Faerie Jars}

{Eleventh Day of Whimsy – Snow Dust Faerie Jars}

This one is dedicated to the kiddies or the adults who are still children at heart. The little jars are quick and simple projects that can delight young and old. I tried to make them very simple – but you can expand on this project to make the jars more fancy. You could also fill with jingle bells, small sparkling ornaments, bottle brush trees, or Christmas picks. Set them on a window ledge, shelves, the mantle, or a make a small vignette in the china cabinet. Everyone needs a Snow Dust Faerie in their home this season!
