DIY Snow Globes

This project is a great alternative to snow globes with water. I have seen these the past couple of years and just never got around to making some! It was super easy and only took about 10 minutes to make too! You can use any empty jars you have around the house. We had an empty salsa jar and I cant remember what the small jar is. The possibilities are endless!! 

What you will need:

Jars With Lid (any kind work!)

Fake Snow

Little Trees (Michael's)

Hot Glue

Step 1: Wash your jars and remove any labels. Center your tree in the middle of the lid. Hot glue your tree down. 

Step 2: While the glue is drying, put some of the fake snow in the bottom of the jar. I just put enough to cover the bottom. You can always add more if necessary. 

Step 3: Once the glue has dried, screw the top on the jar and shake it a few times to get the snow scattered around. Set up and enjoy!

Glitter Ornament

Christmas is my favorite time of year. I start celebrating Christmas a lot earlier than I probably should!! But that doesn't stop me! I am so excited to get

 started on all my Christmas crafts for this year. I am so thankful for starting this blog so I can go back and see what I made without having to get all the decorations down! I made some stuff for my mantel last year and I can not remember anything that I made for it. That is sad!! 

What you will need: 

Pledge Floor Care  

Plastic or Glass Clear Ornament (Michael's, Joann) 

Glitter

Step 1: Take the top off your ornament. Be careful to not bend the top.

Step 2: Squirt a small amount of pledge floor care in the ornament. Sounds crazy but the pledge acts as your glue to keep the glitter in place and it dries clear! 

Do not shake the ornament as it will create bubbles!! Just gently swirl the ornament around making sure you cover everything. Pour the rest back in the bottle. 

I turned my ornament as I poured the liquid back in the bottle to make sure I covered the very top. You don't see that part once you put the top back on though. 

Just a personal preference. You will want to work quickly on steps 2 and 3 so it doesn't dry.

Step 3: Now the glitter!! I made a funnel from a piece of paper but if you have a funnel on hand that works too! Pour more glitter than you think in the ornament. 

Now start to slowly spin the ornament to cover the inside with the glitter. Go over places a few times just to make sure you don't miss anything! 

The tricky part is getting the glitter back in the bottle if you are using a small bottle of glitter like I am. That is when the paper comes in handy because you can form it to fit in the bottle. Now pour your excess glitter back in the bottle.

 Pop the top back in your ornament and put on your tree to enjoy!!
