While chipping away at some new projects for you, I stumbled upon the cutest project from one of my favourite YouTube accounts, The Miniature World of Kit and Cabooders. Check out their Glowing Autumn Scene in a Jar and see for yourself why I immediately had to create my own.
Aside: Why the heck do fairies and jars go together so well?
I grabbed that inspiration by the hand and created my own version. It's not exactly the same, but created in the same spirit as the original. Everything I used was on hand, with supplies already in my stash.
Now, I'm not saying don't go out and buy some adorable fairy jar supplies... I'm just saying that sometimes it's really nice to just use what you have, to make do, and not have to run out to buy more more more.
In my version I used the following supplies:
• glass jar and lid
• battery powered tea light
• small piece of foamcore (corrugated cardboard would work too)
• florist foam (use a sponge in a pinch)
• Sculpey oven bake clay (you could make your cottage out of anything at all!)
• a twig and other accessories (acorns, tiny paper leaves, wee mushrooms)
• faux grass/greenery (i.e. flocking, moss, wool fiber, felt, ribbons, fabric)
• glues of various types
• paints
This project comes together really quickly, rather easily, and the end results are just adorable.

Have a lovely day, my beautiful friend.
