So, let me fill you in before the suspense gets the better of you: Christmas Star Jars.
Oh my goodness, it’s such a magical and beautiful idea, and the uniqueness of each jar is entirely up to the creator.
I’ve made a list of what you’ll need below, and how it all works, but be as creative as you like — after all, it’s your homemade light for Santa to see your home.
Have fun creating.
Materials needed:
- A small jar with a lid
- Battery-operated tea light or small LED lights
- Gold or silver glitter (optional)
- Small star-shaped confetti or stickers (optional)
- Ribbon or string
- Paper and pen (for a little note to Santa)
Instructions:
Clean the jar
Make sure your jar is clean and dry before decorating.
Decorate the jar
Sprinkle some glitter inside the jar or stick on star-shaped stickers.
You can also tie a ribbon or string around the lid for a festive touch.
Add the light
Place a battery-operated tea light or small LED lights inside the jar.
Write a note to Santa
On a small piece of paper, write a festive message like “Merry Christmas, Santa!” and place it in the jar or tie it to the ribbon.
Place the jar outside
Set your jar on the doorstep, windowsill, or in the garden for Santa to see.
Optional: add extra sparkle
Scatter a few extra star confetti around the jar or on the doorstep for a magical effect.
Enjoy the glow
When night falls, turn on the light and watch your Christmas Star Jar twinkle, lighting the way for Santa.
