 Here in India I got a hold of these large glass jars with lids---I am going to fill them with Christmas decorations and lights and decorate the hallway......any ideas on how to make the lights not fall to the bottom....how do I stage this so it really really looks good? Thanks.....I have minature nutcrackers, pearls, gold material ornaments, plaid ribbon----I think plenty to work with---just to do it all justice in a jar. I actually would love to find a minature forest and house to fill onje with......any advice appreciated. Beverly Gill |

Hi Beverly, I usually do that too, lol.
Try to put some lights in, then fill up with whatever you want. And in between put the lights, Works for me!! AT least if you use the string lights ofcourse, duh!!
Show a picture when you're done, oke.

In the past I have taken cranberries,and balsam boughs, and put them in a quart jar, and fill with water. I used that as decoration on the table, It was actually really pretty.

pine cones? if they have them there? how about just twigs? that will give you something to wrap the light wires around and drape them on. you could even glue some sparkles ont them so they were pretty when the lights are on.

Jami, they are like a clear glass cookie jar with heavy glass lid...my mil says be careful---they are about50 years old....in various sizes. I have 1 with a minature nut cracker, plaid ribbon, some gold colored ornaments the white lights, and a string of pearls....may take the pearls out and do a victorian one. have a good day. Beverly  |

my great grandma had a couple of these around her house. One had sand and dried greenery and a nativity. another had an assortment of what nots. I have a smaller whatnot jar full of neat little odds and ends that I find to be pretty. I think lights and ribbon and glass christmas balls would be pretty.
good luck
Merry Christmas

I would love to see a picture of these. I am having a hard time getting a mental picture. They sound lovely.:)
