I love vintage snow globes, but few keep all their liquid over the years. I thought maybe this year I may try to make my own! Martha Stewart and a few other people in blogland have tutorials, so I’ll relay the skinny on this project. |
| You’ll need a small jar – baby jar, olive jar, pimento jar, etc. Using epoxy, adhere a small plastic or ceramic figurine, animal, or tree onto the inside of the lid. Some crafters suggest mineral oil in the jar, but Martha says distilled water and a dash of glycerin. Sprinkle in a little glitter. Either screw that lid on tight, or put some epoxy on the threads of the lid first to keep it sealed up. Flip it and shake! |

Pretty simple, huh? How about an idea that’s even easier, but yields a greater effect? You could use a glass bell jar or apothecary jar to create a snow dome – all you need is the container, some items to go inside, and faux snow. A modern presentation of the classic snow globe! |

I love the scene under the bell jar! The snowglobe looks like a fun craft to do with the kids over christmas break. Thank you so much for all your wonderful ideas! I just love all your posts. It’s like a little give in my email everyday. Merry Christmas Kristie!!!!!
thank you, karina – that means a lot to me! merry Christmas!!!
I would definitely like to try this! Everybody loves a snowglobe!
very cute idea! would make fun gifts, for sure!
I remember making these with my daughters girl-scout troop many years ago.. They were a lot of fun to make!! I had made them for gifts back then too. I do like the big bell display that you made.. how cute!! I wish i had something like that to use so i could do the same. I have a glass cake plate but it has too much decoration on it so i don’t think it will work too well. Your idea is better!!
