I've seen a few of these upcycled salt shakers on Pinterest and decided to make a Christmas tree ornament out of one. I started with inexpensive glass shakers from a restaurant supply-type store -- 6 for about 8.00. To age the stainless top, I sprayed with gold paint, sanded, and repeated the process. I sealed it with spray varnish. I glued a filigree piece with a vintage button on top and threaded a cord through the holes. I trimmed it with rhinestones and a piece of vintage seam binding. The words and emblem on the front are a rub-on. I plan to make more for gifts. It's surprisingly quick and easy for all its elegance.

Hi Laura, my friends and I made 20 of these for party favors. They turned out cute, but I love how vintage yours looks. We glittered out tops. Some with wite and others aqua. I especially loved the aqua. Really fun how you made it into an ornament!
