For the summer break, I wanted to plan an exciting craft activity for my kids, and when I saw this marvelous snow globe on The Sweetest Occasion, I immediately got into action with my upcycled mason jars. I hope you will have a great time in taking a quick glance at these amazing snow globes in a mason jar.

Steps to Make a Christmas Mason Jar Snow Globe

Things Required

• Mason jar with lid (the size depends on what you are planning to put inside your snow globe)
• Bottle brush trees (you can also add decorative plastic animals or a snowman if you wish)
• Waterproof glue
• Sandpaper
• Glitter
• Glycerin
• A jug of water

Instructions

1. Rub the sandpaper on the underside of the mason jar lid to make it smooth.

2. Add a little glue to the bottom of the tree (and plastic animals) and press it firmly on the lid. Allow it to dry overnight.

3. Fill your jar with water and keep the level a little less than full.

4. Add the glitters to the water, the amount depending on the size of the jar. I even added a little fake snow for a stunning visual impact.

5. Pour approximately a tablespoon of glycerin for the glitter and snow to spread out properly especially after shaking the globe.

6. Now we are a step away from creating our magnificent snow globe. Place your decorative items inside the glass jar and firmly screw the lid. Give it a good shake (with care though) for the contents to mix well to create a perfect snowy effect.

Here we are with our cute little snow globe.

Tips

• If you want to make your snow globe without glycerin, then use baby oil in place of water, which will also help the glitters settle down slowly.
• Go for plastic mason jars if you have mischievous kiddos at home, who would want to keep shaking the globe vigorously.
• You can spray paint the lid for a colorful appearance. I had a showy ribbon tied on one and a twine around the other.
• Another variation would be to add lights to the globe to brighten up your home on Christmas night.
