Break old ornaments into pieces and stack them in a jar. The finished look feels far more expensive than it is

Put on safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from sharp edges.

Lay a towel or cloth on a flat surface to prevent the ornaments from rolling away and to contain any small pieces.

Carefully break the ornaments into smaller pieces by gently tapping them with a hammer. Aim for a variety of sizes and shapes.

Once you have enough pieces, begin stacking them inside a clear glass jar or vase. You can layer different colors or textures to create visual interest.

Adjust the pieces as needed to ensure they fit snugly and create a balanced look.

Display your finished jar in a location where it can catch the light and add sparkle to your decor.

For a personalized touch, consider incorporating additional elements such as battery-operated LED fairy lights within the jar to add a warm glow. You can also mix in small pine cones, dried flowers, or other natural elements for a rustic look. If you prefer a more uniform appearance, choose ornaments in a single color scheme or metallic finish. Experiment with different jar shapes and sizes to create a unique collection, and don't be afraid to mix and match styles to suit your personal taste.
