Upcycled holiday decor: Convert Glass Bottles Into Candle Holders

This is a super easy and fun craft that also allows you to upcycle the wine and spirits bottles.

What you need:

• Empty clear glass wine bottles
• Goo Gone — a solution that removes adhesive
• Pliers, Scissors and razor blade
• Living or artificial evergreen sprigs and berries
• White candlesticks
• Paper towels

How to make it step by step:

1. Remove the bottle stickers: you can soake them in soapy water for a couple of hours and then carefully use a razorblade to peel the sticker off, if you have trouble with the adhesive that the sticker may leave on the glass you can use a solution for it like Goo-gone.
2. Arrange the greenery: its tme to cut your greenery, it can be natural or artificial, I like to have some pops of color so a colorful option is key, like this one on amazon that has green pone branches, pinecones and berrys. So cut some berriesso you can spread the color.
3. Add the greenery and berries to the bottle, make sure it’s not to crowded, take your time to decorate.
4. Add water to the bottle
5. It’s time to put the candles on, if they are too wide for the bottle neck, trim a little bit with a knife. Voila! easy upcyceld candle holders for your christmas table. As an option you can add a ribbon bow if you like.

Christmas crafts ideas: DIY Christmas Snow Globe

This is another fun christmas crafts ideas that you can make upcycling glass jars, it’s easy, clean and even the kids can make it. It will make a cool centerpiece or your table of a fun decoration for the house

What you need:

• Glass jars with lids
• Dystiled water and glicerin
• Little trees or ornaments
• Glitter
• Sand Paper
• Epoxy Adhesive

How to make it step by step:

1. As in the irst craft we will need to clean up the jars, take off the stickers and remove the adhesives with Goo-gone, Make sure they are clean and dry.
2. Sand a little bit the part of the lid that will be inside the jar, this will help the ornaments to stick to it. Once done wipe with a cloth to remove the dust and stick the choosen ornaments to it. (you can use plastic or similar, avoid cloth or felt ornaments). a verygood option is to use bottlebrush trees, this pack of small figurines is perfect for this craft. Remember to use an epoxy type of adhesive like E6000 that is water safe.
3. Fill the jar with distiled water but not all the way, leave some room for the ornamet and for the glicerin, just a few drops of i will make the trick. If your jar is very large you may add tome more. This will make the water to be more gelly so the glitter will take more time to drop.
4. Add glitter to the mix, it’s up to you how much glitter to add, the bigger the jar the more glitter, you can test with less and add more if you think it’s needed. I like the chunky glitter more.
5. Insert the ornament and close the lid on and give it a good shake. Your new snow globe is done.
