Holiday Decorating With Black & White

We are having so much fun crafting and decorating for the holidays this year. Now that the boys are older, I have a little more free range on how I decorate the Christmas tree. Last year I went with a traditional theme, adding in a few red buffalo check pieces like this Pretty Wall Art and Rae Dunn Inspired Ornaments.

This year, I am loving the black & white buffalo check holiday decor that is everywhere right now. Instead of doing all black and white, I thought a few touches of red and neutrals would match well. Mini Reverse Canvas Ornaments and a Rustic Christmas Countdown Calendar were the starting point for my holiday decorating. I carried the black and white to the mantel with these fun snow-covered holiday mason jars. The design may be simple, but the impact is just right for our holiday theme this year. Of course, I had to add a little black and white plaid ribbon so everything would come together.

FAQ’s

Is Epsom salt flammable? 

Epsom salt itself is not flammable – it has a high water content, and it is actually used as a flame retardant – but some types of coatings may be flammable

Can you color Epsom salts

Yes!! Measure 1 Cup of Epsom Salts into a container.
Add 1 Teaspoon of Vinegar.
Add as much food coloring as desired (deeper color= more food coloring)
Cover and SHAKE vigorously for a minute or two.
Check to see if it’s coated well!
Spread on paper towel or plate to dry.

Can you use Mod Podge as the glue to make the Epsom salts stick to the glass?

Yes, it is actually my preferred glue for this project.

Have a question? Drop it in the comments below. I will do my best to answer them all.

Supplies Needed

• Mason Jar
• Glue (I used This Glue) 
• Epsom Salt
• Extra Fine Glitter
• Sponge Paint Brush
• Sticker or Vinyl Cut Out
• Ribbon and/or Twine for embellishments 
• Clear Spray Sealer

Instructions:

1. Apply your sticker shapes or vinyl cutout (I cut mine in Cricut Design Space) to a clean dry mason jar.
2. Pour about 1/2 a cup of Epsom salts and 1 Tablespoon of glitter onto a paper plate. Mix them together.
3. Coat the mason jar with an even coat of glue. Make sure you use enough so the salts have something to stick to, but try not to over do it so the glue drips as it is drying.
4. Roll your glue covered jar in the Epsom salts. Coat the jar well. If you see any blank spots, add a touch more glue to those areas then press again in the salts/glue mix.
5. Set aside to dry.
6. Once your mason jar is dry, carefully remove the sticker. This will be a bit messy, and salt will fall everywhere. Protect your work area. 
7. I decorated mine at this point. If you wish, you can spray the jar with a spray sealer to preserve the look and keep the salts from flaking off.
8. Add festive holiday ribbon and a simple twine bow to complete the look.
