UPDATE: NOVEMBER, 2021
We have added more details about how to create this project that was originally created by A Pumpkin and A Princess.
Hi DecoArt readers! It's Crystal from A Pumpkin & A Princess here sharing an easy holiday craft. Can you believe the holidays are almost upon us? The year seems to have flown by and the most wonderful time of the year is right around the corner! I've always enjoyed making my own holiday decor, whether it's a simple candleholder or tree trimmings. There’s something special about creating décor in your home, especially looking back at them over the years. It’s funny how styles and trends change. Well, this mason jar lantern is perfect for any and holiday table.
One of my favorite DecoArt crafting mediums is Decou-Page glue, especially on mason jars. It has a great hold and can help transform something plain into beautiful home decor. Today I’m sharing an Epsom salt-covered Mason jar that would make a great addition to your holiday décor or Thanksgiving table.
