If you own pets, you've probably been faced with "How can I have Christmas decorations, without constantly chasing baubles?". I can offer a fun little pet-proof decorating solution to have some sparkle, which also makes for a simple Christmas craft project, and a cheery seasonal addition even if you don't have pet worries. You've likely seen that I share my life with four feline helpers, and they come in various degrees of "curious about things" through to "downright surprisingly stupid". In previous years we've managed cats and Christmas by tying the tree to the piano (knock a full upright piano over you little swine!) and giving up on the decoupage baubles and just calling them cat toys now. Zathras is a whole new challenge, full of curiosity, and sometimes shredded Bank statement and a bit of leaf. Won't eat cat treats, will eat carrier bag. Here's part of our solution to still having Christmas sparkle, without the cat crapping tinsel You will need:
1. Make sure your glass jars are clean, dry, and buffed. A range of different sizes and shapes can look great together. 2. If you have lids missing, or want to hide the jar lids in a more decorative way: Place the mouth of the jar on your chosen material, draw around it, remove the jar and then draw a second larger circle around the first, about 2.5cm wider all round. Cut out the larger circle and save it to one side. 3. Pick from these four ways to fill Decorations
Baubles
Hanging decorations
Fairy LightsThere are quite a few battery powered led light strings available, and in their own jar, alongside others filled with decorations they enhance the sparkle. Double check instructions on using them in a small space, as some advise on being fully unfurled for use. You can also find lights designed to be used in old drink bottles for a variation in height. Spread the joy!Once you have your jars filled, dot around shelves, create a table centre piece, or group wherever makes you happy. Yes, there's a chance your pet may knock the jar to the floor, but be canny in your choice of location AND give added security with a blob or two of Blu tack underneath (depending on the surface you're tacking to) and usually after a couple of attempts where they go "huh this doesn't move" the attention fades away. It's not the same as a full Christmas tree, a room sparkling with tinsel or the seasonal sprays of green and red foliage, but these joyful jars can liven up a mantelpiece, create a colourful coffee table or reflect and sparkle if you have fairy lights going. We need all of the little joys we can get in the dark of the year. And no sudden vet bills!

Going to try ths with my two kids as they're really sad we can't have a tree, because the new puppy has been trying to chew everything, and I've decided a tree would be too much stress! Might be easier to put away for next year too XD
