Mason jars are not necessarily dedicated to storing food. They serve as a great supply for easy homemade home décor. Look at this beautiful snow globe. Although there is no snow there, it is beautifully decorated with a summer style. All you need to do is to stick figurines of a flamingo, and small trees on the inside of the lid. Next, fill in the jar with water, sprinkle a pinch of glitter, and a few drops of glycerin. This is what will make the glitter float. Finally, close the lid and turn the jar upside down and you’re done!
