I am so grateful I saw this. It’s been a very hard year for me, and to give attention to complicated crafts was not my ability to do. Yet I desired to give a gift for a few friends, and here’s one I can do! Thank you!
I have watched 1 million tutorial since I started crafting about two months ago and you are so clear and precise and simple I love it you’re my first one I’ve subscribed to
Great idea! 🤔 Only I missed the part in the supply list where you told us we would need to grow a third hand to help with the glue gun. 😂😋 Love it when the Littles can help with a project. This would be a great teacher or Sunday school gift. Thanks for sharing. 🎄
Glad things are back to normal! Wow! That is a lot of bags! Congratulations on good test scores! Those advent skeins are so pretty! Merry Christmas! And stay warm!
Hello! I’m currently doing this project and I’m not sure if the problem is my mod podge (the gloss one) because it’s thick so when I attempted to apply the layer to seal the salt, the rocks fell off a little and after letting to dry (the sealing layer) some areas of the jar were completely empty because the salt fell off completely there. So I reapplied another layer of salt without sealing it! Now I’m gonna let it dry until tomorrow! Do you think I should use another mod podge? Yours looks more fluid! ** thanks for sharing**
I’m making these as gifts this year, will these last? Will the salt stay on for years to come? I want them to be able to keep them for years for holiday decor
They are stunning! And easy! Even I can do those. Was wondering though. I saw a picture of such jars and it looked like they had fake snow at the bottom. Can one do those extra? Or just all snowflakes (they are cheaper than Epsom salt where I live)?
Such a fun and pretty candle holder. They have scented epsom salt that would be good as well to use. I have all the supplies to make these. Thanks for this wonderful idea and how to! ❣️🎄❄️MerryChristmas Y’all 🌠
Hi. I am trying to do the Christmas jars... but when i am trying to seal the salt on the jar... the salt is coming together on the brush and jar... am i doing something wrong or should i buy something more to seal the salt?
Hello! I just finished my first one of these. It's on transparent plastic (I needed an unbreakable luminaria) and the weirdest thing happened: I applied my Mod Podge, rolled the jar in epsom salt, and the first challenge was that, when I very lightly brushed on another coat of Mod Podge to seal my work, the salt wanted to just come right off. The second was the weirdness: Water or some sort of liquid began to accumulate around the bottom of the jar. I can't find anything online about this. I'm guessing I need to stick with glass jars in order to avoid both issues?
Gosh, I'm not sure I've never tried on plastic before. Plus I don't think you would want a real candle burning inside plastic or it will melt. I would stick with glass :)
Oh no no…mine is a completely different design: A baby mouse, asleep, with some more details around his “room,” and a string of battery operated fairy lights illuninating the scene. (I don’t even trust glass jars as candle holders; I’m a battery operated fairy light/votive/tea light person.
I should explain further: What I needed from your tutorial was the method for “frosting” a clear jar. In my design, I’m frosting all but a clear opening in the front where the viewer can observe the scene. I did a quick Google after I queried you, and apparently Mod Podge is unpredictable on plastic. I’ll try glass next time. But thanks for your response, and for the very nice tutorial!
I used glass jars, and I had a similar problem with the epsom salt not sticking when I went to do the second coat of Mod Podge, it was coming off. What did I do wrong?
Hi, according to Google, PVA is thinner and has a higher moisture content so maybe that's why it melted the salts? Maybe try a tacky white glue like Elmer's and just thin it down a little bit, but not too much.
@@erica_arndt thank you. I so want to do this, but it was quite funny watching the salts slowly melting and sliding of, obviously a snow melting look 😂 the correct glue is definitely needed. Maybe I'll have to spend out or mod podge on Amazon.
Has anyone made these and then have them soak up moisture from the air? I had my students create these, but then they started producing condensation from the salt. Help!
There are SO MANY videos here on TH-cam for crafting. I find YOURS to be truly high end. Thank you.

The Lord helped me make these as Christmas gifts this year 2022! Thanks for sharing God Bless!
I think i'll make this for my mom because she really loves stuff like this for Christmas
These are beautiful and SIMPLE to make! I tried them and when I ran out of Epsom salt I used fine white glitter. Tyfs!
I just rewatched this video, and these snowy mason jar candle holders are easy to make and so cute!
My 6 year old grandson and I are going to make a few of these tomorrow!! He is so excited!

Using Epsom in place of pixie dust is great idea.

Can i use normal salt instead of epsom salt
Love it 100%❤
Love it!
Can you use basic bath salts for this ? X
Lindo! Parabéns pela criatividade!👏👏
Beautiful!! Can you put real candles inside?? Or they have to be battery ones??
You can put real ones if you like
Wonderful idea!!!!
Adorable!
Gorgeous
Good job really pretty
You are so clever!
Have you ever had the Epson salt turn white?
I’m making these as gifts this year, will these last? Will the salt stay on for years to come? I want them to be able to keep them for years for holiday decor
Espectacular
Que bonito se ve! No entiendo Inglés pero se ve perfectamente. Gracias.
Shared the love ❤️
So cute!😊
Hey what just I use to decorate my mason jar ideas

Could you possibly use food coloring as well mixed with the salt?
I don’t see why not?
Pretty 🎄👌😊
Super thank you
Hi. I am trying to do the Christmas jars... but when i am trying to seal the salt on the jar... the salt is coming together on the brush and jar... am i doing something wrong or should i buy something more to seal the salt?
I had the same problem! Did you find out any solution!?
Do you ever put glitter on the jar also?
I haven't but I'm sure you could!
Super cute and easy! :-)
Will Matte Modge Podge be ok or is Gloss preferred?
I used this one: amzn.to/31F0OUr
Oi Érica bom dia, muito lindo parabéns.

@@jocelyn4873me too! Did you find out any solution?
What can be used instead of modpodge
Um, I'm not sure, I used mod Podge :) But I'm sure if you do a little internet search for a Mod Podge substitute you'll find something that will work.
❤
Is this rock salt or absence salt
epsom salt
Could you help me. I'm UK and don't have mod podge. I used pva glue but my epsom salts all melted?? Why do you think this happened?

Hi I get modge podge from hobby craft if you have one near you.. also the range sells it to.if your able to get there ☺️
Thank you Emma. I shall get some. I just like to know what's so special about it, and why it doesn't melt the salts.
Lol these turned out a lot prettier than mine 😅
Has anyone made these and then have them soak up moisture from the air? I had my students create these, but then they started producing condensation from the salt. Help!
Hi, we've never had an issue with ours, maybe you need to make sure to cover them well with ModPodge?
We are too. But my problem didn't start until we did the outer layer of Mod Podge.
@@lindsayhauenstein1709 I had the same issue
OMG!!! I've Not been getting your videos. Argh!!!!!!!! Everything is right. That just drives me crazy....Rant is over....lol
