Have you decked the halls at your home? Mine are all decked out this year and I couldn’t be happier! Christmas decorations make me feel so happy! I get so excited to get them out every year and I love adding new items and changing it up from year to year!
This year I was able to partner with JOANN to create a beautiful Christmas mantle and some Christmas Village jars! I fell in love with with so many items in JOANN‘s and had a difficult time narrowing my final choices down to a few items. How fun would it be to be able to take it all home? Not sure where I would store it all!
JOANN’s has the cutest little pieces for Christmas Villages so I knew I had to create a Christmas Village in glass jars as part of my Christmas Mantle decorations. Why are miniature versions of things so fun?
I love putting the little Christmas figurines in glass jars, because I love how the glass reflects the white Christmas lights. It creates such a magical feeling in this room!
I picked up some apothecary jars and these adorable paper houses and churches! The little paper houses even light up! Aren’t they so pretty? I love how they look in the jars!
Use fiberfill or epsom salts for the snow in the bottom of the jars. I like the look of the fiberfill in the jars with the little church or the house. I like how it swirls up around the home, like a new fluffy snowfall! The little Christmas animals and figurines sit better and more stable in the epsom salts.
You will need to find some jars that are big enough to hold the house, church or small decor item you want to display in them. A couple of the items I used are actually ornaments, so I took out the eye hook with a pair of pliers.
If you have a jar that has a smaller mouth, you can use it to fit the smaller animals and figurines in them!
JOANN has so many adorable options to choose from!
I am tempted to add some clusters of Christmas Villages in some other areas in my home though…so I may go back and grab some more!
For the rest of the mantle I grabbed some pine branches and separated them into smaller pieces. By breaking them up you can place the jars on the flat mantle surface and then place the branches around the jars. This allows you to place the jars right where you want them. Just tuck the ends of the branches under the pine needles and no one will know they are pieced together!
This way you can get a nice uniform look and wrap the greenery around the bases of the Christmas Village Jars.
I bought some of these beautiful white fairy lights to place in the greenery. I LOVE using the fairy lights instead of the regular mini white lights on my mantle. The thin wire is easily hidden in the greenery and the white lights are the perfect little pinpoint of light!
I am in love with the color red this Christmas! I find that I am wanting to add it everywhere in my home for a fun pop of color! These striped stockings were too cute too pass up! I also love the stocking holders and how they hang the stockings lower than the mantle shelf!
I have had this large wooden lantern for several years now and added some greenery and the red bow to it to add in some more color! The bells are from a wall decoration. I took the bells off of the rope they were attached to and fastened them onto the pine bough! I love them!
I find myself spending more time in this room than I usually do! I want to sit by the fire at night and work or read while enjoying the Christmas Villages! Do you have a favorite room you enjoy during the holiday season?
