DIY Snow Globe

I have seen the DIY Snow Globe going around a lot on Pinterest. I had been wanting to make them for awhile and never did. Well, I finally got the time to make them. I decided to do it a little bit differently. This is super simple and a little bit messy, but a lot of fun!

DIY Snow Globe

Supplies Needed:

Mason Jars

Two Lego’s

Super Glue

Mini Christmas Trees

Glitter/Tinsel

Snow

Texture Snow Paint


Directions:

First super glue your mini tree to one Lego. Then glue the other Lego to the inside lid of your mason jar.

(That way you can always switch out what you have inside your jar. This also makes the tree higher and easier to see.)

While this is drying fill your mason jar with snow and glitter. I used blue, silver and gold glitter specks.

Once the super glue is dry, screw the lid on the mason jar.

Take your Texture Snow Paint and paint the lid and a little onto the jar.

Done! Enjoy your new snow globes.

I really love the look that the texture snow paint gives the DIY snow globe. It makes it look like it is always snowing in the globe. No need to shake anything up.

    This is creative! I'm still bugged to see the lid so visible there in the bottom of the globe. Maybe I could make some more decoration to cover it entirely. Great share!
    • Sarah Halstead says

      December 11, 2014 at 12:52 pm

      Ha ha. Well it did say on the can you could paint something white and then use the snow paint. Or you could use more layers. I just didn't have enough time.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
