A "Re-Purposed" Christmas Tree - Crystal Salt & Pepper Shakers
November 05, 2013
In case you haven't been following along here, I have challenged myself to decorate my Christmas tree with all re-purposed items this year.
To bring you up to speed, you have missed...
Re-purposed Christmas Ornaments:
1. Zinc Jar Lids
2. Teaspoons
3. Ice Cream Scoop
Today, Christmas tree ornament number four in my challenge is a re-purposed set of crystal salt and pepper shakers with silver plate covers and tray. I have had this little set for sale in a consignment shop for over a year. No takers.
I purchased these crystal prisms for $5 at Menard's.
I only needed one prism for this project so the cost of this project is $4. A hole was drilled in each end of the tray.
I removed the gold metal clips and added silver colored jewelry rings.
The I glued the crystal salt and pepper shakers by their sides to the tray with E6000, and let it dry overnight. A ribbon was threaded through the top hole.
Here is my re-purposed crystal salt & pepper shaker ornament hanging from an evergreen in my yard.

I can also see the shakers hanging alone and the tray with a crystal hanging on it without the shakers! Lots of ideas with those 3 pieces!
