Paint the jars with spray paint

Spray paint on jars

First, select your preferred spray paint color. Additionally, you'll need four glass jars. This provides an excellent opportunity for upcycling, as you can repurpose old jars. Feel free to use various jar sizes and shapes for added creativity. Next, position the jars inside a box. Proceed to evenly spray the jars from all angles. It may be necessary to apply a second coat to ensure complete coverage.

Step23

Personalize glass jars with engravings

Engrave numbers on the glasses with the Dremel Muti-Tool

Attach the Flexible Shaft (225) to your Dremel Multi-Toolfor more precise engraving on the jars. Alternatively, you can opt for the Dremel Stylo+, designed to fit comfortably in your hand like a pen. Begin engraving the numbers on each of the jars. Pro tip: Preselect a number style you prefer and use a template for the engraving. Depending on your creative vision, you can select different accessories. For instance, the Diamond Bit 7103 is ideal for fine lines, while the Diamond Bit 7105 is perfect for more pronounced, coarse lines.

Step33

Elevate jars with creative decorations

Decorate jars with floral foam, moss, leaves and candles

You can now begin embellishing the jars. To establish a stable base, consider filling the jars with floral foam. Then, insert a stick candle into each jar and adorn them with materials like moss, eucalyptus, snowberries, dried orange slices, or similar decorative items. Feel free to use a variety of materials to enhance the jars' aesthetic. You can typically source these materials from florist shops, garden centers, or even your own garden. To add diversity, vary the decorations from one jar to another.

Your unique and contemporary Advent wreath is now ready for decoration. It's particularly striking on a small table or shelf. Enhance its festive appeal by adorning it with various Christmas decorations, further immersing your space in the holiday spirit. Now, the anticipation of the first Advent and the lighting of the initial candle can commence!
