1. Jar Wreathes

Couldn’t find miniature wreaths at the Christmas mart? No worries, because you can now make them on your own using Mason jar lids. You can glue preserves or faux leaves on the Mason jar and add more accessories such as mini bells, ribbons, berries, or anything you think will sit on the jar cap. This will give you a mini DIY wreath that you can add to your artificial Christmas tree.

2. Cookie Ornaments
