Ah, that’s a clever DIY decor hack! ✨ By breaking old ornaments and layering them in a jar, you create a textured, reflective display that looks chic and costly without spending much. Here’s how to make it really pop:
How to do it:
- Choose ornaments – Pick ones with different colors, finishes (shiny, matte, glitter), and sizes.
- Break safely – Wrap ornaments in a towel and gently tap with a hammer or rolling pin. Wear gloves and goggles to avoid injury.
- Layer in a jar – Use a clear glass jar or vase. Layer pieces by color, size, or pattern for visual interest.
- Add extras – Toss in fairy lights, glitter, or small pinecones for a festive touch.
- Display – Place on a shelf, mantel, or table centerpiece. The reflection and layering make it feel upscale.
💡 Tip: You can also make seasonal versions—reds and golds for Christmas, pastels for spring, or metallics for year-round glam.
