1) Decorate spice jar…
This gift is relatively easy to make and still makes your eyes light up. First, stick a round paper sticker (approx. 3 cm in diameter) on the spice jar with a swing stopper. Now decorate the lid with snow fir trees, Father Christmases, deer, etc.
My tip: Before you start gluing, first put the whole ensemble on your jar to try it out. So you can see how it works in the end and you can easily try your different variations. Then you glue the figures in place with the temporary glue. Now decorate the background with the Snow paste and ice crystals. As long as the pastes are not yet dry, you can clean the edge of the jar with a damp cloth.

2) …and spice mix in!
Then fill the finished jars with the spiced salt mixture. This works best with a funnel. The ratio of herbs to salt should be about 1:2. If you like it spicier and more colourful, you can add a few chilli flakes to the jar. Now add the ribbon with the label. A small, fine Christmas decoration and gift idea is ready!
