This jolly mini North Pole in a jar craft project creates a beautiful snowy scene you never have to shovel — and it’s also a great way to display some of your favorite Christmas ornaments!

Turning cotton into faux snow

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?

How you feel about snow largely depends on where you live. Maybe it sticks a bit now and then, but that greeting-card snowfall measured in inches eludes your city. Or maybe you live in a northern clime that routinely gets buried in the white stuff. Whether you love it or hate it, though, snow is what makes for a white Christmas — and we can all agree that that is magical.

A new home for old ornaments

Who doesn’t have a few ornaments that have broken or are too fragile to put up on the Christmas tree? Giving them new life inside a display will allow you to enjoy them all season long (and offers some protection from exploring toddlers… and cats).
