Dollhouse, Train, or Village Light Snow-globe Miniature in Mason Jar. For the love of snow globes!
This DIY mason jar Christmas idea has definitely reached out and captured my attention, and I’m anxious to make one myself! It is beautiful, creative, awesome, and it’s all in a mason jar! It’s easy, fun, safe, it can be made at home with the family, and it’d be the perfect holiday cheer to incorporate into your Christmas village or other holiday decor! It is a completely dry project, and looks absolutely incredible! The tutorial is provided by Amber from Salt Tree (blog), and we’d love to see many more pieces like this from her! I’m overwhelmed with ideas of variations I’d like to do with her idea, but I’m still on the hunt to be able to find these little village trinkets, especially ones with any kind of lighting included! You’ll need some of the common craft materials that we seem to be mentioning more and more lately (mod podge, fake snow, mason jars), and a few others.

But every once in awhile there’s a grumpy woman who sniffs “Yes, but is it practical?” When I’m sewing by hand, I have this really bad habit of sticking all the pins I’m finished using into the arm of my chair while I sew. The pincushion ring helps me remember to stick them in my pincushion, not the chair, haha! Happy sewing! Look at this Little Thing! Avocado Bobby Pins by shayaaron. Jellyfish in a Bottle.

I love all the hand-carved details in the house, the little woodland animals, the kitschy German landscapes and of course, that fact that a birds comes out of a little door to say "cuckoo! ". So like many things I have yet to get, I will make a very tiny version for a dollhouse and wait patiently for the day, I get a real one in my own house! Get your block of wood, and cut a card-stock roof, and triangle for support. Glue the triangle to the roof, and then the roof to the house. I drew all the details on card-stock, added color with color pencil and glued the little pieces onto the house shape. Then I used a thin jewelry chain, and a stick pin, to add those little acorns and the pendulum. I attached them with super glue. You can hang this tiny cuckoo clock inside your dollhouse and it will instantly be much cozier.
Small world land. Follow I often hang a strand of Tibetan Prayer flags on my back porch.
They are made of untreated cotton, block-printed with prayers and images.They weather in the sun and wind so they start out as vivid primary-colored flags and wind up shredded and faded. Here is what they look like, taken at the Field Museum Tibetan exhibit in Chicago yesterday. There are also a bunch of gorgeous shots of them in action on Google Images, cascading down mountaintops and off temples.
I have always believed that the flags are supposed to be directing good vibes to my home: peace, kindness, strength, and wisdom. But I am digressing. First you need to download the flag template.
