Things you will need:
Food jars (medium or large) or any other type of jar with a lid
Florist clay
Small figurine
White or silver glitter or fake snow
Hot glue gun
Ribbon
Garland plastic greenery
Steps:
First of all wash and dry your jar and the lid.
Using florist clay, attach the figurine to the inside of lid. Make sure that the height of the figurine is in accordance with the jar. In case of too small figurines, use more florist clay to increase the
height for a balanced look of the Christmas snow globe.
Use your creativity and imagine to attach some plastic made greeneries, berries or the like with the
florist clay. This will make for an authentic look.
Then fill the jar with clean and clear water to within 1/2 inch of top. It would be advisable to use
cold water because warm water tends to form gobs.
Sprinkle some glitter, or fake snow into water. The amount to be sprinkled depends on the size of the
jar.
Now using hot glue gun, line glue inside of lid. Insert figurine into water and screw on
lid.

Apply a layer of hot glue around the rim of the lid to seal shut.
Leave it to dry overnight by keeping the jar with lid upside.
Decorate the lid with glued ribbon to enhance the beauty of Christmas snow globe. You can also use
plastic holly berries for a holiday feel.
Now your Christmas snow globe is ready to adorn your festive season.
Shake it and watch the snow flying all around creating a perfect Christmas season look. You can either
use it for Christmas decoration or as great Christmas gifts to your loved ones.
