DIY Jar Lantern & Gold/Silver Pomegranates

Yes, you can have a DIY Christmas in Podgorica!  We have been in a holiday"crafty" mood ever since the weather in Montenegro turned chilly.  A few weeks ago when we were searching for material for our advent calendar we also picked some extra supplies for some for home made Christmas decorations. These DIY crafts are extremely easy and quick to make. 

1.  Lantern:

YOU NEED

    glass jar    pliable wire     spray paint

We found the glass jars and pliable wire at and Spray paint at Kips. 

Spray paint the empty jars white  (you can, of course, experiment with different colours). 

Cut 2 pieces of wire the circumference of your jar.  

Twist them together and secure around the top of jar.  

Cut 2 more pieces for the handle (you decide on length).

Twist these pieces together and tie to the wire you first attached around the jar.  Our wire is quite thick but looks great with thinner wire as well.  

How easy and cute are these?

 

2. Painted Pomegranates:

YOU NEED
