I know you guys can do it, you guys rock.

And without further adieu, let's get straight to the video. Let's go!

I've always loved snow globes, but snow jars are also so fun.

And you can actually make your own super easily.

All you need is a mason jar, some Christmas tree ornaments, and fake snow.

Simply glue your tree onto the lid with hot glue, then fill your mason jar with a bit of fake snow.

Screw on the lid, and now you're ready for the best thing.

Flip the mason jar upside down.

The snow falls to the bottom of the jar, and covers the tree on the way down, so it really looks like it's snowing

in our mini Christmas world.

You can experiment with different jar shapes and sizes, as well, like this one.

So definitely have fun with this DIY, and make it your own.

Did you hate it trying to take a Christmas picture, but although wrapping and rubbish from the presents are in the background, it can ruin a perfectly good picture.

So instead, just take a carefully opened present box or some leftover wrapping

and wrap up a large container or your bin

for all your rubbish and it will blend in with your Christmas background.

No ugly bins in sight.

Don't have instant snow?

You can actually make your own by using the inside of a

nappy.

Iit's called a sodium polyacrylate which

are also in Orbeez.

It basically absorbs

water like crazy and expands like a

hundred times its original size.

Just sprinkle it wherever you like and add water.

Or you could drop it all over

the floor like me. It's so easy and so

fun to watch grow, I could seriously do

this a million times just to see it grow

in front of my eyes. Just look at how it

covers this Christmas scene.

So you can find this stuff at your local store and that's great.

But if you can't you can always

get some from the inside of nappies.

Just so unexpected.

Christmas is probably the most Snap-happy

time of the year, and you never

really know when your pictures being

taken, so expect to be caught off guard a

few times.

But one thing you can control

is how your skin looks and a great way

to make this easier is to use a

two-in-one product. Clinque's Beyond

Perfecting™ Foundation + Concealer is a

two-in-one, so there's no need for a

separate concealer anymore and your

concealer shade will always be on point.

This also means that the coverage is

amazing and buildable, but it also feels

really light, and this doe foot

applicator means you have total control

and can apply as much or as little

foundation as you like. Also the

foundation doesn't dry super quickly,

so it gives you enough time to blend it

in, which is me because I can be such a

slow blender sometimes. And once it's

blended the color will melt into your

perfect shade. The foundation finish is

incredibly matte so you don't turn out

super shiny in photos, which is literally

my problem all the time and it's

suitable for dry, normal and combination

skin, which is me. Not sure what shade you

are? Visit your local Clinique Counter to

get your shade match. There are 20 shades

to choose from and they'll also gift

you with a complimentary seven-day

supply of any foundation. So Merry

Christmas from Clinique. This cost twenty-seven

dollars which is so cost effective

because you don't need to buy a separate

concealer. In love with this guys.

It's not Christmas without Santa and

what better way is there to dress up a

party cup than with a Santa costume?

This DIY is super easy. All you need is a red

party cup, some black ribbon, a button and

some gold paint. First paint your button

gold. You may need a few coats and then

let it dry. Or you can just find a gold

button in the store.

Measure out a strip of black ribbon by

wrapping it around the cup and cut it to

size, and then when your button is dry

hot glue it right into the middle of the

ribbon, and then glue the ribbon onto the

cup,

then simply glue the ends together to

finish it off and that's it.

This DIY is so simple but completely

changes your boring cups into something

bright and festive at your holiday

party and it's great because there's no

washing up. I'd make a whole row of these

side-by-side and I think it would look epic.

There's something really comforting

about hot chocolate and I've got a great

way to add some Christmas spirit to yours

this coming holiday. Connect three

marshmallows by using the craft sticks

so they form a head, chest and pelvis. Stick two

arms and legs into the bottom two pieces,

then a tiny piece of carrot for the nose.

Or you can use candy corn as well.

Use some chocolate icing to draw some

buttons, eyes and a mouth and you're done.

I made my first one sad by accident. I was

hopinh mine would look a little bit more

like Olaf and a little less weird

but it's okay, I like weird.

So go ahead and give your snowman an

awesome hot chocolate bath and you're done.

Hot chocolate plus marshmallows, sign me up.

Well, would have enjoyed it if Mia

didn't get to this first.

In order to make these amazing light

decorations,

you'll need a mason jar, some book

wrapping, frosted glass spray, some

ribbons, and bells and an LED candle.

Trace an outline of anything you like on

to the book wrapping. I drew an angel but

you can write a letter or anything you

want.

Cut it out carefully and then stick it

onto your mason jar. Take your frosted

glass spray and spray a light coat onto

the jar and rotate the jar so you can coat

all of it. Try to do this in a

ventilated space, which is not what I did,

and I regret. When it's dry, simply peel

off your sticker and you should be left

with something like this.

Now tie some bells on to your ribbon

ends and then tie this around the neck

of your jar. Put an LED candle inside and

close the lid and we're done. I also

did this with a Christmas tree design, a

star shape and i love how they all

turned out.

Did you know, you can make the cutest

gift box out of toilet paper roll? This

hack is great for giving people smaller

gifts when you aren't sure how to wrap

them, or to make a small candy gift box.

Just take a toilet paper roll, squash it

flat and then fold the edges in until

they overlap like this. Then put your

gift inside. You can do some candy or

anything else you would like, before

closing off the other side by folding it

in. Then use some wrapping paper and

ribbon to wrap it up and you're done.

So now you have a solution for all those

small gifts that a too hard to wrap.

These cute trees are great way to

decorate the dinner table during the

holidays. In order to make a delicate

cone-shaped Christmas tree, you'll need some

twine, pressure paper, hot glue and some

decorative stars. The first thing you

need to do is twist the magazine paper

into a cone shape and then tape it in

place. Then use scissors to get the base

of the cone so it's flat and also a

small slit on the bottom of the cone.

Take your twine and put the end through the

small slit to hold it in place and then

just keep wrapping and wrapping until

you get to the top.

Next take hot glue and basically just

glue the whole thing together using

various patterns. I kinda just went

up and down the tree. Try not to glue

this directly onto the paper because

then it won't come off.

I saw a lot of tutorials saying to use

Mod Podge or glue or cornstarch, but these

ended up sticking to the paper too much

and didn't really work for me. When it's

dry, just take your tree off the cone and

it should look like this. Next take your

decorative stars and put a tiny bit of

hot glue on them and just pick the kind

of randomly on your tree. I put a star on the

top as well and then you're done.

I've tried a few different colors and

sizes and they all turned out looking

amazing. I love how delicate and

intricate these trees look and they just

give up a different kind of vibe

compared to standard trees and I think

they are really elegant.

So we probably all have received festive

socks at some point. Perhaps it wasn't

the best present, but actually if you

don't wear yours,

they could be perfect cup warmers.

All you need to do is just cut the stock in

half, flip it inside out and sew the end

closed. And that's pretty much it.

You've made yourself an awesome festive

cup warmer. And then I said the corners

together in the middle like this.

It will keep the drinks nice and warm in the

holidays and also protect your hands

from getting burnt. Mmm. It just makes your

drinks looks so much more cozy as well.

I don't know about you but I think life's

too short for boring napkins,

so here's a hack that can turn a simple

napkin into a Christmas tree. Just find

the corner of the napkin with all the

loose folds, fold the first corner up to

the top and then keep folding the

quarters up, leaving an even gap between

each of them, until you get to the last

sheet. And turn the napkin over and fold

down the top to create a triangle. Use

the fold as a guide to fold the edges

in to form a cone shape. And turn it over and fold

each triangle sheet upwards while

tucking the edge under the
