Target $3 Christmas Glass Jar Decoration




Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. I recently took a little trip to Target for a few items, and of course, while I was there, I stopped off at the dollar spot. While there, I found so many items that I could either upgrade or create a new craft out of them. If you haven't seen my Target Wood Sleigh Upgrade, check it out! 

Today, we are going to create a glass jar decoration. It makes a beautiful Christmas display. I found a glass jar for three dollars, and I thought it would make a perfect Christmas decoration. So, if you're ready, let's create this quick and easy Christmas craft.

Video tutorial

Be sure to check out the video tutorial! 




Materials needed

One glass jar 

(Target $3)

Mod Podge

Paintbrush

One red Holiday Truck decoration

One mini Christmas tree

Snow powder (faux snow)

Twine

Christmas greenery

Scissors

Hot glue

Mini lights

Total cost around $6 

Start with taking some Mod Podge, and a paintbrush to apply your Mod Podge on the inside, bottom section of your glass jar.

After applying the Mod Podge, take your snow powder (faux snow) and sprinkle some on top of the Mod Podge. This will help keep your snow powder in place. If you find that you have some snow powder left over after you have applied it, just take a paper cup, or any container, and pour the remaining powder into your container.


Next, take your mini Christmas tree, apply a small amount of hot glue on the bottom of your tree, and add it to your jar. 



You can either add your greenery now or after you have added your red truck. I added my greenery after I added my red truck. And to be honest it probably would have been easier to add them in first.




Once you have added in your truck and greenery, you can take some twine, and add it around the top outer section of your jar. 

I used two strands of twine and tied them around the top section of my jar. After doing this I took two pinecones and glued them onto my twine. 



Now you can add your lights. Take your mini lights, and add them to your jar. Be sure to go around the greenery, tree, and truck. Continue adding your lights, and also be sure to add a strand of lights around the outside of your jar. 


If you add the lights around the top outer section, be sure to add some clear tape to keep the wire/cord in place. 

You're all done! Wasn't that a simple craft? I couldn't believe how quick, and easy this craft was. 

Now all that is left is to find a spot in your home and display your beautiful Christmas decorations.



I hope that you have enjoyed this craft. Be sure to stop by in the comments, and say hello! I love hearing from all of you.

I'll see you soon!

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Watch the video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table:  -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights  - Reusing glass jars  - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations  - Small "Hello Fall" sign  - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table.

How I Refreshed an Old Garden Statue with Paint (Easy Patio DIY)

This charming toad perched on his toadstool has been a beloved part of our patio for years, enduring the passage of time while gradually succumbing to the effects of sun and weather. With each season, he has faded a little more, losing some of his vibrant colors and details. Rather than allowing him to blend into the background and become just another forgotten decoration, I decided it was time to breathe new life into him.  Watch the Video Tutorial I shared the whole process in a quick YouTube Shorts video called “Watch Me Refresh This Old Garden Statue.” It’s a simple before‑and‑after, but such a satisfying one.  Materials I Used Garden statue (mine is a toad on a toadstool) Sandpaper Acrylic paints Small detail brushes Mod Podge (for sealing and protection) Sanding and Painting I began by gently sanding the statue to smooth out the chipped and faded paint. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes such a difference. Once the surface felt ready, I brought out my a...

Three Easy Candle Jar Ideas for Cozy Porch Décor

I've always thought there was something so comforting about soft candlelight, especially when it’s paired with a few simple faux florals and greenery. Today, I’m sharing a sweet little project in which I decorated a glass jar in three different ways. Each jar has its own personality, glow, and gentle charm. These pieces are perfect for porch décor, but they work beautifully anywhere you want to add a touch of warmth. I love projects like this—simple materials, quiet moments, and a finished piece that feels peaceful and handmade. Watch the Video Tutorial Materials I Used Clear glass jar Battery‑operated candle Faux string of pearls Faux succulents Faux vine Bright pink faux flowers (tops removed from stems) Yellow faux flowers Faux foliage Optional: woven mat or tray for display Jar 1: Succulents & String of Pearls For the first jar, I wanted something earthy and calming. I placed a faux string of pearls inside the jar and let it settle naturally. Around it, I tucked in a few fa...

How to Make Easy Beaded Wine Glass Charms

 I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project.  Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...

A Sweet Little Clay Trinket Dish Makeover

If you’re looking for a quick, beginner‑friendly craft, this hand‑painted clay trinket dish is such a sweet project. I’ll show you how to turn a simple clay blank into a petite floral dish with a glossy finish that’s perfect for holding rings, earrings, and tiny treasures. It’s a small DIY that comes together quickly and adds a charming, whimsical touch to any space. Watch the Video Tutorial Want to See the Process? I filmed the whole thing!

Once the base was dry, I started building the design: stems and leaves first tiny pops of color for the flowers a thin black outline to make everything stand ou...
