10 Days of a Kid-Made Christmas – Vintage Inspired Jar Ornament

Hey it’s another Kid-Made Ornament for ya!!  We are headed into full swing, crankin’ out some ornaments, mode!  This Vintage Inspired Jar Ornament was the simplest ornament to make – EVER!

Henry Cole is one of our favorite authors, and this book, The Littlest Evergreen Tree, is just adorable.  It’s a story of a little evergreen and it’s life’s journey – starting shorter than the grasses, it’s life on a hillside as it is dug up to become a Christmas tree.

With that, we made this.

I’ve always loved those old vintage jar ornaments with the little bottle brush trees & plastic deer, so we created our own little Vintage Inspired Jar Ornament, complete with a little evergreen tree, a little deer, and some snow, in a jar .

Here’s how you can make one too!

What you’ll need:

• The Littlest Evergreen Tree book
• 3” bottle brush tree
• small gold plastic deer
• clear plastic ornaments (the ones shown in the pictures I got at my local craft store, but I can’t seem to find them anywhere online to link to them for you :(  The ones I linked will work similar with the process, it’s just that they are a different shape)
• fake snow
• cool shot glue gun (great for little hands – it doesn’t get too hot) & low temp glue sticks
• index card (makes a great no-stick funnel) & a piece of tape

How to make it:

• Read the book, The Littlest Evergreen.
• Open the jar & lid.
• Glue down the tree & deer with the hot glue to the bottom lid.
• Once dry, glue the lid on.
• Form the index card into a funnel & tape shut.
• Pour in the fake snow, just a little bit is all you need.
• Close the lid & hang!

Isn’t it darling?!  I’m so in love with this little kid-made ornament.
