Holiday Salt Shaker…

image


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).
imageI 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.

After allowing the tree and gift to dry, I sprinkled a fair amount of the glitter into the jar using a funnel so that I didn’t create a mess!

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!

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!

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

You did a great job Tracie! I am thinking you should go into business and make some serious money at $25 each!! :)

Awwwww, that's so cute! what's not to love about that sparkly little salt shaker christmas scene!

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!

Florence said…
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
