10 Days of a Kid-Made Christmas – Vintage Inspired Jar Ornament

Tuesday, December 1, 2015 4 Comments

10 Days of a Kid-Made Christmas - Vintage Inspired Jar Ornament inspired by the Henry Cole book The Littlest Evergreen from @mamamissblog

Hey it’s another Kid-Made Ornament for ya!!  We are headed into full swing, crankin’ out some ornaments, mode!  This Vintage Inspired Jar Ornament was the simplest ornament to make – EVER!

Henry Cole is one of our favorite authors, and this book, The Littlest Evergreen Tree, is just adorable.  It’s a story of a little evergreen and it’s life’s journey – starting shorter than the grasses, it’s life on a hillside as it is dug up to become a Christmas tree.

With that, we made this.





I’ve always loved those old vintage jar ornaments with the little bottle brush trees & plastic deer, so we created our own little Vintage Inspired Jar Ornament, complete with a little evergreen tree, a little deer, and some snow, in a jar .

Here’s how you can make one too!

What you’ll need:

  • The Littlest Evergreen Tree book
  • 3” bottle brush tree
  • small gold plastic deer
  • clear plastic ornaments (the ones shown in the pictures I got at my local craft store, but I can’t seem to find them anywhere online to link to them for you :(  The ones I linked will work similar with the process, it’s just that they are a different shape)
  • fake snow
  • cool shot glue gun (great for little hands – it doesn’t get too hot) & low temp glue sticks
  • index card (makes a great no-stick funnel) & a piece of tape

How to make it:

  • Read the book, The Littlest Evergreen.
  • Open the jar & lid.
  • Glue down the tree & deer with the hot glue to the bottom lid.
  • Once dry, glue the lid on.
  • Form the index card into a funnel & tape shut.
  • Pour in the fake snow, just a little bit is all you need.
  • Close the lid & hang!

Isn’t it darling?!  I’m so in love with this little kid-made ornament.

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
