Gnome in a jar of happiness

Loving DIY gift idea as a lucky charm

A gnome in a lucky jar is a wonderful gift idea. The little gnome with the toadstool is a symbol of good luck. In this blog post, I'll show you how you can create a charming lucky gnome in an old jam jar in just a few simple steps.

Before you start your DIY project, you will need the following materials:

• an empty jam jar

• plastic gnome figure, e.g. from a surprise egg

• moss

• small toadstool decoration

• gift ribbon

Step-by-step instructions

• Prepare your jam jar by cleaning and drying it thoroughly. You can carefully scrape off the writing on the jam jar with a kitchen knife. I only left the writing "Glück" (happiness) and carefully removed the rest.

• Place the moss in the jar to create a natural environment for your elf.

• Place your elf in the jar so that he is standing or sitting in the middle of the moss and is clearly visible.

• Decorate the moss around the gnome with the toadstool or several small toadstools. This will give your project a fairytale touch.

• If you like, you can of course also decorate or personalize the jar, e.g. "Happiness for you" or "Happiness for Katharina" or whoever you want to give it to... A white touch-up pen, e.g. from Edding, is best for this. You might also like a decorative pattern. Let your creativity run wild.

• Finally, tie the ribbon around the jar. To give away or send, you can close the jam jar with the lid.

The lucky gnome as a gift idea

A homemade lucky jar with a gnome is not only a cute decorative item, but also a unique and loving gift. You can also have the gnome deliver small messages by giving him a sign or adding small details that will bring joy to the recipient. My little gnome is carrying a birthday cake - but these gnomes are available in all kinds of funny poses, with garden tools and for all kinds of occasions. Whether for Christmas, a birthday or as a lucky charm for other occasions, this lucky gnome will warm hearts.

A gnome in a lucky jar is a DIY project that brings joy and symbolizes good luck. With little effort and creative design, you can create a loving gift and a lucky charm that finds a home in an old jam jar. Try it out and give away a little luck!

If you have several empty jam jars at home, take a look at this upcycling idea and make a DIY lucky candle out of them. You can also find an idea for using old jars as delicate upcycled lanterns. Have fun with it! Please leave me a comment and share the post if you liked it.

A hug and see you soon!
