Step 1: Arrange your scene

You can buy Christmas cake toppers and figurines online or from craft or cake decorating shops.

Select a few and put them together on the lid of your jar.

Once you are happy with your arrangement, glue the cake toppers in place.

A glue gun is the easiest thing to use but strong glue would work too.

Sprinkle fake snow all over and around your scene, covering the bottom of the lid.

You can sprinkle on glitter too for extra sparkle.

Step 3: Pop on the jar and add a glittery trim

Pop the jar back onto the lid and screw in place. You might want to add a festive trim by gluing some sparkly or velvet ribbon around the rim.

Why not make a set of jars?

 

You could make different snowy scenes, using different sizes and shapes of jars.

They look beautiful in a line on the mantelpiece, especially when the room is lit only by lights from the Christmas tree.
