How To Create A Thrifted Festive Centerpiece.

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.

​That’s it! This is such an easy and beautiful DIY to do. Next time you hit your local thrift store make sure to check out the glassware section. Happy thrifting!
