  3. Cut a deer silhouette from brown card stock (or a small plastic deer) and adhere it to the bottom of the jar with Mini Glue Dots.
  4. Sprinkle glitter or perfect pearls over the trees to add a shimmer.
  5. Embellish trees with star punches, glittered paper and Mini Glue Dots as desired.
  6. To make snowflakes: Using a snowflake die cut, cut two snowflake shapes from glittered paper to create one snowflake. Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the two snowflakes together with the glitter paper side out. Adhere the snowflakes to the inside of the jar with Mini Glue Dots. Continue to make snowflakes with die cuts and Mini Glue Dots until satisfied.Pointsettia Mason Jar Decoration
  7. To make poinsettias: Cut poinsettia pieces from red and green cardstock using the die cut. Place brad through the center of the poinsettia flower and leaves. Place Mini Glue Dots on the brad and adhere the poinsettia to the inside of the jar. Make as many as desired.
  8. Add enough artificial snow to the jars to cover the bottom. Some will stick to the trees as well.
  9. Wrap twine around the Mason jar lids and tie in a bow.

Because the holidays are super stressful as it is, all of the supplies for this project can be found at your local Hobby Lobby.
