Why homemade decorative glasses?

In today's fast-paced world, we often long for moments of peace and contemplation. With our custom-designed decorative glasses, you can create precisely this atmosphere within your home.

Materials for your decorative glasses

To create your very own decorative glasses, you only need a few easily available materials:

• Jars (preserving jars or old jam jars)
• Natural materials such as pine cones, small twigs and moss
• Decorative elements such as small Christmas balls, dried orange slices or cinnamon sticks
• Fairy lights (small battery-operated LED fairy lights)
• Decorative ribbon or jute string to decorate the outside of the glasses

Step-by-step instructions

Let’s create your very own decorative glasses together:

1. Clean the jars thoroughly and remove any labels. This will create a clean surface for your creativity.
2. Start with a layer of moss at the bottom of the jars. This creates a natural base for your decoration.
3. Place pine cones, twigs, and other natural materials in the glass as desired. Let your imagination run wild and combine the elements in a way you like.
4. Add decorative elements like Christmas balls or stars. These accents will give your glasses a festive touch.
5. Carefully wrap the string lights around the decorations in the jar. Make sure the battery compartment stays on the outside or is easily accessible.
6. Optionally, wrap a piece of decorative ribbon or jute string around the rim of the glasses for an additional decorative accent.
7. Turn on the string of lights and place the glasses in the desired location.
