Good Monday Morning
Friends & Folk!
...while rummaging through my winter/holiday decorations,
I found this little cross stitched snowguy that I made last year ~
I had the idea to 'capture' him in a glass jar, so I repurposed a 'Cheerful Giver'
glass candle jar & lid....
here he is outside his glass world:

...and here he is captured once again inside...
{sorry about the glare}
↓
here is the lid, I covered it with a circle of cotton batting {to fit just smaller than the lid}
and then covered it with a piece of fabric that I cut about an inch larger than the lid...
↓
I glued the cotton batting to the top of the lid first,
then covered that with the fabric circle {centering it on the lid},
then brought the edges to the inside of the lid and glued into place.
{as you can clearly see, I wasn't too worried about the underside of the lid LOL}
...before I put little sam snowman in, I poured about an inch of my old white buttons,
rusty safety pins, old jingle bells, etc. into the bottom of the jar...
then I cut a circle of batting with my pinking shears
{just a bit smaller than the base of the jar} and tucked that on top of the buttons to look like snow.
after that, I placed some of my tiny white sisal trees in the jar,
and added a small twisty garland of shiny silver stars around the insides of the glass jar walls.
AND THEN
I plunked little sam snowman down in there.
~ I fussed around a bit {too much!}
and got him to stand
where he would lean against the jar side and some of the trees...
*** oh I forgot... ***
I strung some jingle bells onto some grey silk ribbon and then tied that around the jar topper.
and Viola!!
there he is with a very confused look on his face LOL
but I love him nonetheless
