When everything is dry turn it upside down and shake it a few times to make sure nothing falls off! It’s just important to remember to keep things away from the edges enough that you can still screw the lid onto the jar, so don’t fill the entire base with glue or rocks. It will make sense when you do it, but basically you can pile some glue down there, put your object in, and then mound some pebbles around it to adhere everything together as the glue dries. But if you have something like my little plastic pictures, or a tree sprig with a tiny twig at the bottom, I’ve found that it’s easier for me if I have something like little rocks (those blue things you see in the photos they’re aquarium rocks from the pet store that I had from another project) to help keep things in place. If you have things with wide, flat bases, they’re easy to just glue right on. I didn’t do that with this batch and everything has stayed put just fine, but something you can try. You might want to take a piece of sand paper and rough up the inside of the jar lid so the glue adheres better. You will create your scene on the underside of the jar lid.
Make sure when you cut around your lamination, you leave a tiny border so it stays sealed up. Muah!) If you don’t have a laminator, most copy stores have lamination services that don’t cost much. I can’t tell you how much I love it when I have an idea in my head and it actually works like I thought it would! I just took a photo of each kiddo, printed it out on my home printer, cut it out, and ran it through my laminator ( the laminator you all recommended to me on Facebook that I got and love. I decided to take it up a notch though, and put something extra special inside. A snowman would be super easy to make! I snipped all of my greenery off of artificial garlands I have around my house. You can buy all different colors at almost any craft store and it just bakes in the oven. And if you don’t have any of those, try some crap that belongs to your children that you want to throw away anyway fun stuff like this and try a silly snow globe.Īnother really fun thing is to make your own little figurines with Sculpey Clay.
Try thrift and craft stores for little winter-themed figurines. If you’re not sure, just try placing the items in a bowl of water for a few hours and see if they start doing weird things. You can be creative with the items that go inside your snow globe, it’s just important that they are made of materials that won’t break down in water. Really any size jar works you just have to find things to fit inside of them. Marinated artichoke heart jars work really great for these, as do little teeny tiny baby food jars. I am most definitely not.) I also had a bottle of capers that I finally finished by making one last batch of this Grown Up Dipping Sauce (another obsession, you guys need to all try that one), and a big jar from marinara that we used for dipping Pizza Rolls. Check out your fridge I grabbed an almost empty bottle of peperoncini peppers (that I have been using on Greek Salads and Greek Tacos, you’d think I was the pregnant one with the cravings I have for those. Let dry.The first thing you need are jars, with nice snug lids. For an additional accent of sparkle, place dots of glue around the outside of the jar and sprinkle it with glitter. Step 5: Sprinkle some glitter over the scene and place the jar back on the lid. Step 4: Use a bit of glue to hold the trees and snowman to the inside of the lid. Step 3: Open the jar and cut a piece of adhesive back red felt to fit around the rim of the lid. Step 2: Mold Model Magic into a mini snowman and add a hat and face. Step 1: Mold Model Magic into mini Christmas trees and add decorations.
Just add a little glitter to get a snowy effect and you’ll be set! Here is what you’ll need: Keep in mind that these snow globes are only meant to mimic the real thing (and be kid-friendly), so don’t add water if you are using Model Magic to make them like we did.

We have the full workshop video below if you’d like to turn it on and follow along, and we have some steps we’ve written to help you as well. Over the weekend we had the best time joining Crayola and Michaels Kid’s Club Online to teach a virtual class for kids where they learned to make a DIY Snow Globe! It was SO much fun and these tiny snow globes could not be more adorable! This is the perfect way to get creative with your little ones during the holiday season, and all you’ll need are a few simple supplies from Michaels to make it happen.
