We’ve seen her help out on her uncle’s farm, take up beekeeping, carve a pumpkin, moonlight as a Target employee, and even host her own pretend cooking show. But now, she’s trying her hand at forging ahead of the holidays. In her latest video, shared to her Instagram page, the Yes Day actress documented the process from start to finish, revealing her hand-crafted holiday ornaments in the final moments of the clip. “Nothing makes my bells jingle like West Virginia artisans,” she kicked off the caption. Explaining how she got into forgery in the first place, she stated: “My friends, Matt & Tessie @wallacemetalworks, invited me to their forgery this summer (after designing and making the most beautiful fire screens for my house) and talked me through crafting one of their coveted hand forged Christmas ornaments.” She concluded with a little reminder to shop to local to her 14 million followers, writing, “Remember when you’re shopping for the holidays—support your local artists! 🤶🏻🎄” The clip, set to John Debny’s festive Elf tune, sees Garner, clad in black leggings and a gray T-shirt, embrace safety first with ear plugs, heat resistant gloves, and safety glasses. Once she has the proper attire, she can be seen removing a piece of metal from the furnace and hammering it to achieve the perfect shape. Garner’s final product, which she held up by her face in lieu of earrings, looked like “Ginko tree leaves,” as one fan pointed out. “JG these are gorgeous. How fun. ❤️” another commented read. One fan stated, “How are you the most fun celebrity out there? I love your videos” as a third expressed gratitude, noting, “I love how you always support people from your home state! Thank you! ❤️” The owners of Wallace Metal Works also chimed in, writing, “You are the BEST and we can’t thank you enough!!!! We love working with you - and having you forge in our shop was just the icing on the cake ❤️❤️❤️ Can’t wait to start the next project 😘😍 xo Tessie & Matt” Is it a stretch to ask Santa for a custom-made Jennifer Garner creation for Christmas?
