Christmas jam jars.

Being inspired by the doily jam jars and the almost magical look they have when they are lit up, we had a little creative session and came up with this idea. Quite a simple way of adding some festive cheer and once a little tea light is burning inside it should create a cosy atmosphere too!

Using jam jars we've collected, allows us to gather equipment easily and the decorative extras will be supplied from The Makery's emporium. Hanging these from the beams and in the windowsills will hopefully create some festive cheer to our Christmas market stalls.

Starting to get festive.

Discussing the need to add a touch of Christmas to the upstairs of the The Makery Emporium, ready for the Bath Christmas market, we all joined together and discussed our ideas, sticking with the natural shades that already appear on The Makery's Christmas advertisements.

One of the ideas I found, proved popular and followed Kate's love for white doily's and natural colour scheme. These lit up jam jars seemed to be an all round winner with everyone and we starting planning how we could give them a sophisticated Makery twist. Now all we need to do is spread the word around friends and family for our need for empty jam jars, of all shapes and sizes!
