How to make an easy red car Christmas jar in just a few minutes!
Things got hectic when I went back to work, so it’s been a few months since my last Pinterest Challenge, but happy to be participating in this one!
The last one I did was a Fall inspired Wool & Velvet Pumpkin Cloche.
This month’s theme is Christmas Jar.
Our inspiration comes from Katrin of Northern Feeling, and it’s her Simple Holiday Village in a Jar.
The Challenge
Every month, Cindy from County Road 407 sends us a Pinterest photo that fits our theme. The purpose of the challenge is to inspire us to take elements from the inspiration, and use them in our own unique way.
The Pieces That Inspired Me
- Obviously, the jar
- Snow!
- Fairy Lights
This glass bowl was a gift to me, and it was perfect for this holiday project!
I stopped by my local Walmart to get a few things for the house, and while I was there, I went to the Christmas section, and found a big bag of “snow”, and the cute little car was there as well near the village pieces. I love that the headlights come on!
It took me only a few minutes to put this together, which was perfect for my busy week, and really is a cute decor piece! I have it on my entryway table next to a basket of ornaments.
I know it’s a bit early, and my Fall decor is also still out, but I have been thinking about introducing some Christmas magic a little bit early this year. Plus, while organizing the spare room this last weekend, I pulled out the Christmas tree, and don’t really want to have to bag it up, and put it in the [new] shed just yet… Maybe I will hold off a tiny bit more, but dress up the tree for Fall. What do you think? What are your decor plans?

NOW, TIME TO SEE OUR FRIENDS CHRISTMAS JARS!
I love this idea. the little red car is so perfect and elevated on the galvanized stand makes it even better.
Thank you so much, Marty! I love that galvanized stand – one of the best investments.
I found you on TFT party. And I love this idea. I think my grandsons would love this, so, since they’re coming for Christmas this year, I want to try it. And I love your crochet projects! Following…
Thanks so much for stopping by, and dropping me a line! It was fun to put together, and I love the simplicity of the project. Would love to see if you make your own 🙂
This is a really cute Christmas Jar! That’s a fun idea to decorate with a jar like this, and I love your little red car. The headlights are awesome like you said! I’m visiting from the Traffic Jam Weekend link up today. Have a great weekend Alexandra!
Thank you so much for stopping by, Marielle! I had a lot of fun putting this little jar together, and have already put it in it’s spot on the entryway table for Christmas (set it up officially today).
What a cute idea! Thanks so much for linking up with me at my #UnlimitedMonthlyLinkParty 18, open until November 26.
Thanks so much, Dee!
This is so adorable! Just love your creativity! Thank you for sharing at Embracing Home and Family!
Aww, thank you so much, Jennifer! I enjoy partying with you 🙂
I had no idea you blogged here also, Alexandra. Now that I do, I’ll follow you here as well. Very cute Christmas jar, I adore those miniature vintage red trucks.
I appreciate the follow! Yes, this is my new blog for all things not yarn related. I also am loving the red truck trend – they have such pretty decor out this year!
Red trucks are one of my favorite decorations (especially since I own a real one). Love how this turned out. Thank you for visiting with us this week and sharing your project. I have selected your post to feature this coming week at party #308. #HomeMattersParty
Ooohhh!! I am jealous of your red truck! There is quite the selection of red truck decor this year too.
A new website! The Christmas jar is really cute. It will be featured in Creative Compulsions tomorrow.

Yes! My new website for all things not yarn related. I appreciate the feature!
So, so cute! The little red car is a great find. I love decorating ideas that are quick and easy. Thank you so much for stopping by to share this at Handmade Monday 🙂
Yes! Quick and easy is the best. I almost though it was too simple to share, but then I thought that sometimes the simple things go right over our heads, and I loved this simple little idea that is so easy to pull together that anyone could do.
I love your new blog name and your fanciful Christmas jar. You are being featured on the Little Cottage Link Party tomorrow.
Thank you so much, Kristie! Yes, this will be my new blog for non-yarn related posts. I really appreciate the feature!
This idea is awesome! Looks fantastic!!
Thank you! It was a great challenge. I was looking at my jar just earlier today thinking of a Summer jar project…
