Winter in a Jar Swap ~ Linky Party Post

 I'm so excited the day has finally come for the Winter in a Jar Swap Linky party!

My partner was Kim of A Vintage Fairy

 And this is what she created for me. 

 I love the glittery snow down the sides and we must have been channelling the same Winter Vibe.  We both created something with a tree, berries and a dear.

She topped it with a lovely hand made flower!  I love my jar and am so glad I hosted and participated in this swap.

 This is what I made for Kim

 I had seen a tutorial on how to make a pipe cleaner dear and I gave it a shot, it DID NOT work!  Talk about a Pintrocity, so I deleted it off my board or I would show you.  So I had to go hunting (on Etsy not in the woods) for my dear. 

 Gave him a sprinkle of glittery snow, as I did everything else in the jar.

 I wanted it to have a fun base and I hadn't cleaned my desk off after some random project, I had exactly three mini spools left they were perfect!

I mounted the entire jar onto a piece of foam core painted it blue and added a doily.  Then sprinkled glitter between the seem.  To hide the edge I found the perfect snowflake ribbon. 

To finish it off I added some seam binding and white leaves to hide the jar top, then a fun layer of snowflake confetti a dab ofThis jar came together really easily for me and I hope Kim loves it. snow and a 3D snowflake.

 

This was a great swap with only one swapper flaking out :(  I am so pleased with how it went that I will be doing a Spring in a Jar swap so stay tuned for that.

 

Thanks for visiting.
