White Christmas Mason Jar Luminaries

Ginger Snap Crafts made an adorable set of frosted luminaries for this holiday season. Check out the tutorial.

The holiday season is a time for family, friends, and cozy nights spent indoors. One way to make your home feel extra special during this time is by incorporating festive decorations that add warmth and a touch of magic to your space. Ginger Snap Crafts has done just that with their adorable set of frosted luminaries. These luminaries are a perfect addition to your holiday decor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for enjoying those long winter nights.

The best part about these luminaries is that they are incredibly easy to make. You don’t need any special skills or expensive materials, and the end result is stunning. In just a few simple steps, you can create a set of luminaries that will add a cozy touch to any room in your home.

The tutorial for making these frosted luminaries is easy to follow and includes all the materials you’ll need to get started. You’ll need glass jars, frosted glass spray, stencils, and tea light candles. The process involves applying the stencils to the jars, spraying the frosted glass spray over the stencils, letting it dry, and then removing the stencils to reveal the design. The final step is to add the tea light candles to the jars and watch as the warm glow of the candles illuminates the designs.

These frosted luminaries are not only a beautiful addition to your holiday decor, but they also make great gifts for family and friends. You can customize the designs to suit different preferences, making them a thoughtful and personalized gift. They are also a fun activity to do with children, as they will love seeing the designs come to life.

A while back I made a little rainbow cross stitch pattern and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it, so I turned it into a patch. My idea was that it could be used on a jacket or backpack, or you could add a pin to the back and wear it temporarily on a shirt or elsewhere.

But what if you want to make your design more permanent? Is it possible to turn a piece of cross stitch into an iron-on design?

It turns out yes, it is, and Sirious Stitches has done it so I didn’t have to try to figure it out on my own.

The way they did it was by using HeatnBond, an iron-on adhesive that attaches fabrics without sewing. There was still sewing involved to finish the edges of the cross stitch fabric and make it look like a purchased patch. The post shows how to do this by hand or with your sewing machine. (I just did blanket stitch edging on mine, which doesn’t look like a “real” patch but is also a lot faster.)

Once you have the patch prepared it’s a pretty easy matter of using the fusible adhesive to the back of the patch so you can then iron it onto whatever jacket, pair of jeans, bag or whatever else you might want to add it to.

I guess I’m a little paranoid about the washability of cross stitch projects, though you could hand wash anything with an iron-on cross stitch patch as you might need to with a purchased iron-on patch, anyway. But this does look really cool and is a great option if you know you want to permanently add a cross stitch patch to a garment of bag.
