My older two made the punched-tin candle holders most of us made as children. For my youngest, we made a Snow and Ice Votive Holder. It's the perfect wintry looking decor item, very easy, and costs only pennies.
You Will Need:
- A small glass jar (I used bullion cube jars)
- White school glue... you know, the kind with a bull on the label.
- Table salt
1.) Collect your jar(s), wash, and remove any labels.
2.) Paint the school glue in an even and a little-more-than-thin coat on the outer surface of the jar.

3.) Sprinkle the table salt onto the glue.
Allow it to dry and you will have a snow covered candle holder...and a very proud child, too.
I did something similar with sugar and little plastic stars. Can't wait to try it out with the kids!
