As the holidays are quickly approaching, I am reminded of one of my favorite things about the this time.... SNOW GLOBES! I have seen some pretty adorable snow globes in my life but I recently came across a blog (
http://www.well-worn.com/) that explans how to make homemade snow globes and these are some of the cutest one I've seen! Take a look for yourself...
Happy Holidays!
Not only would these be an adorable gift to give to others for the Holidays but they could also be incorporated into a winter wedding.
Here are the directions to make your own:
You will need:
All can be found at a craft or haberdashery store.
*A jar of your choice (with a lid)
*Figurines or jewellery
*Anti-rust sealant for metal pieces
*Clear-drying epoxy

Steps:
1. Use clear-drying epoxy to adhere your piece to the inside of the lid. Let dry per instructions.
2. After the epoxy dries completely, fill your jar with distilled or boiled water (at room temperature, of course).
3. Add just a dash of glycerin so the "snow" falls slowly.
4. Add as much glitter as you like. If you don't like the look of glitter, you can usually find faux snow at craft and haberdashery stores.
5. Screw your lid on tightly and enjoy your snow globe!
