I made these little snowmen Vanilla Sugar containers after browsing Linda Albrechts blog (how amazing is she!!) and seeing the fab little glass snowman jars she made last year.
I covered polystyrene balls with Crafters Companion glue spray and rolled in glitter. The little noses are the ends of cotton buds again glued and glittered and pressed into the poly balls. The eyes and mouth are little flat back gems and the pink glitter cheeks are using the glitter from one of those fab teeny Doodlebug jars (i thought they were just meant to sit on the shelf and look pretty but apparently you can use them as well!!) ;)
I placed the head and body together with a pipecleaner inserted into both and also some silicone glue for extra stability. Then it comes to decorating as you wish :) Cover in lots more glitter and let dry before attaching to the top of your jars with glossy accents AND silicone glue :)The vanilla sugar is made using caster sugar and a vanilla pod (scrape pod, chop and mix with sugar before filling jar) I covered one of the jar lids with Aleenes glitter snow to create a larger snowman, the other jar lid was filled with decorate toppings :) The rub ons, ribbons and papers are all Bo Bunnys new Christmas line!
You could fill the jars with bathsalts, sweets, jellies etc......even little notes of things to do in the run up to Christmas :)
Gorgeous Debbie :)

ReplyDeleteCan I ask where you got the jars from. They are fantastic. Need to make about 20 leaving presents and they would go down well.
