Homemade Snowglobes

I used to make these with my students as a holiday gift for their parents and they were a big hit.

Materials:

• A baby food jar
• A miniature Christmas ornament (I bought mine at Micheal’s)
• Floral putty (also available at the craft store)
• glitter
• water
• hot glue or epoxy
• paint or aluminum foil
• ribbon

Steps:

1. Remove the lid from the jar and place a small amount of floral putty in the center of the lid.
2. Attach the ornament to the putty.
3. Fill the jar with water and a small amount of glitter.
4. Place the lid back on the jar.
5. Run a bead of hot glue around the rim of the lid to prevent leaking.
6. I suppose you could paint the lid, but I prefer to cover it with foil because that’s faster, easier, and also covers the hot glue.
7. Tie ribbon around the rim.

They are so cute and fun!!
