DIY Mini Snow Globe Jars
TURN EMPTY JARS INTO SPARKLING MINI SNOW SCENES!
Want to make your Christmas tree stand out this year? Try creating your own Mini Snow Globe Ornaments – a fun, imaginative craft that kids will love. They’re easy to make using recycled jars and a few festive bits, and look magical when they catch the light.
YOU’LL NEED:
• Small clear jars (like baby food or spice jars)
• A few drops of glycerin or baby oil (for slow snow movement)
• Water
• Glitter or fake snow
• Small plastic figures (snowmen, reindeer, or mini trees) or even use plasticine
• Ribbon or twine for hanging
HOW TO MAKE THEM:
1. Glue a small figure to the inside of each jar lid and let it dry.
2. Fill the jar almost to the top with water, add a pinch of glitter, and a few drops of glycerin.
3. Screw the lid on tightly (a bit of glue helps seal it).
4. Tie a ribbon around the lid and attach string to hang it from the tree or place it on a windowsill.
TIPS
Use food colouring for tinted “snow water” or tiny LED fairy lights around the lid for an extra sparkle!
