How To Create A Thrifted Festive Centrepiece

I have a confession, I have a bit of an addiction to thrifted glassware. It is an inexpensive way to decorate and can be easily changed up for each season. The holiday season is here and I wanted to create a festive landscape using glassware I thrifted from the Salvation Army thrift store. Here is what you need to make one.

Materials

• Thrifted glassware (large enough that you can place a few items inside)
  
• Epsom salts, can use scented
  
• Fairy lights
  
• Small holiday figurines
  
• Cedar, evergreen cuttings or other decorations​
  

Step 1 
Give your glassware a good clean to remove any dirt or residue.

​Step 2 
Place all of your materials on your table. This will help you keep track of what you have to add to your festive landscape.

​Step 3

• Use your epsom salts to replicate snow and pour into your glassware
  

Step 4

• Turn on your lights and hide the battery pack in the epsom salts. You can place the battery pack into a bag first to keep it clean. Bury your lights in the epsom salt.
  

Step 5

• Start building your village and layer in your festive figurines.
  

Step 6

• Once you are happy with your festive landscape, find a spot to display it on a table or a mantle. Use your cedar, evergreen clippings or decorations and place it around your glassware.
