On a recent visit to Anthropologie, I came upon a fabulous craft idea, that I had to bring home with me to try out! A festive Salt Shaker piece was easily thrown together for less than $5.00 ~ however being sold at Anthropologie for $25. (& they are sold out online)!
I managed to find all the supplies I needed quite easily! I found a set of shakers at Tuesday Morning for $2.99.; At Michaels I found the the tiny wrapped gifts for $1.99 (set of 8) and the bottle brush trees on clearance for .50 cent’s…
…and a huge bottle of Martha Stewarts glitter for $4. (w/coupon).
I squeezed Elmer's glue on the bottom of the jar and used tweezers to put the bottle brush tree and small packaged gift in place. 
Because there are holes in the top of the shaker, I needed a barrier for the top of the jar to keep the glitter from coming out of the top. So I just used a simple hole punch and glued the paper to the top of the lid.
So easy & fun to make ~ now didn’t this turn out cute?
No water ~ just shake!
Happy Holiday Season to you all ~ To see what I am linking to this week – please check my “Cottage Links” label…xoxo, tracie

That is just the cutest idea! I love it...and have some odd shakers somewhere! Now I need a tiny tree! ♥
Too cute! I'm even going to take the salt out of a shaker to make one!
i saw these just the other day at my local Anthro store and fell in love. i too am working on my own version. I just LOVE yours! :)
Hey this is the "little sister" to my jelly jar snow globes that I shamelessly copied from Anthro! I thought about trying the salt shaker one... now I think I must :)
FABULOUS!

That is too too cute Tracie!... I have all of that stuff here at home already... somewhere... in my messy crafts room right now that is filled with wrapping paper, ribbons, etc... but I am going to make one!... xoxo Julie Marie
That is so adorable. Thanks for sharing.
Oh yes, I notice everything Tracie... I love your leopard tweezers too!!!... xoxo Julie Marie
Hi Tracie
That is such a cute little craft; imagine them selling for $25. I seem to recall 'pet rocks' making someone very rich years ago. :-)

I think they are adorable I am in the process of making a few scored at the goodwill and found a gallon Ziploc baggie full of bottle brush trees for $5
Now that idea is so good it could be used for other happenings..a baby shower, wedding favors, birthdays...so many ways to be creative..thanks for sharing another great holiday hit...
Kindredly,
Shirley

I like that! My buddy had been doing this with ball jars upside down and glittering the lid! I need to take picture and blog them..
You did a great job Tracie! I am thinking you should go into business and make some serious money at $25 each!! :)
Blessings~

Oh Tracie, this is so darn cute! I love making snowy scenes under glass. Just so happens that I have a set of vintage S&P shakers that would work fine. I also saw an old glass sugar shaker in my cupboard. That might be fun too. Now I have the containers, even have glitter, just need to run to Michaels. Thanks for sharing!
Cute! Cute! Cute! You did a great job with your Anthropology inspiration!
so adorable, i love this idea!! I have seen them for the canning jars and I have made a couple for them, i LOVE this idea for salt shakers, and I actually saw a couple at Goodwill the other day when I was there, now I need to go back for them!! Hopefully they are still there!!
Love how you used the shaker, I have done several with the canning jars, I am addicted I am thinking. I used epoxy 6000 for the glue. Thanks for coming and visiting me. Florence
How *cute*, Tracie!
Absolutely adorable! Your site is great, the pictures are just beautiful. I'm adding you to my craft links page.

Amazed you found all the supplies for such great prices. finding the bottle tree would be my greatest problem making this project I think.
