We talk a lot about mason jars here at Aleene's, and that's because we love them. They are so versatile! Make yourself a set of snowy mason jars you can use as centerpieces, mantle decor and more. Aleene's True Snow is a holiday favorite for creating fluffy, snowy texture; then add twine, pinecones and other greenery for a holiday decor idea that makes you want to head outside and play in the snow once you're done crafting!
