This is another one of those crafts that I’ve been waiting to do since the beginning of the semester. It was one of the first crafts that I found, and since then the idea of making my own snow globe has been lingering over my head. I wanted to wait until it got closer to the holidays and was expecting the weather to be a little colder, but oh well I still got to make my own snow globe.
I first started by getting a premade globe (my initial plan was to use a mason jar, but I found the globe instead) then you need to find little statues of whatever you want (I just went to where they have things for miniature villages and picked out a snow man and a tree) you will also need to get some glitter that has the potential to look like snow. And lastly, you will also need either super glue or a hot glue gun. Once you have everything you can start. This is an extremely easy and cheap craft! It kind of blew my mind how easy it was, I knew myself and was slightly worried. So first you have to glue the statue/objects to your base and allow that to dry. Then flip your globe upside down and place an even amount of glitter there. Be careful, because I got carried away with all of the sparkles, which resulted in a huge cloud of glitter that looms over my snow man. Once the glue is dry, you can fill your globe with water and stick in the base. Depending on what you use you might have to seal the base so that the water doesn’t leak. So far I have had no troubles with my premade globe and it has yet to leak. Overall it is a relatively easy craft that is pretty much flaw proof. My only tip of advice would be to not get carried away with the glitter like I did. Hopefully if you try this it will be just as awesome as mine and you’ll get a new little Christmas decoration.
