Hello Friends! Can you believe that Christmas is steadily marching closer and closer? Today I have another Christmas craft to share with you. As the title of this post suggests, it is a snow globe. What could be more magical than making your own snow globe that you fill with meaningful memorabilia? It makes an unusual and thoughtful gift as well.
You will need:
A small glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Jars with an interesting shape provide visual interest.
Small figures that are waterproof to create your tableau
Cold water
Glitter or sequins
Glycerin: this is optional but it helps to keep the glitter or sequins stay suspended in the water
Hot Glue Gun
Instructions:
Use a hot glue gun to glue your figures to the underside of the lid. Fill the jar with cold water. Add the glitter or sequins. I used large silver glitter in mine. Add a few drops of glycerin to the water. You may wish to glue the lid to the jar as well to provide extra security.
I have found that setting aside time to engage in crafts has had a wonderful nurturing effect on me. What sort of crafts have you been doing lately?
