Sometimes the decorations are the best part of the holiday, particularly if they are simple and fun to make at home. Snow globes are a great example and they are easy to make with your family! You can pick up interesting toys from Goodwill to make your globes particularly memorable.
You will need:
- Waterproof trinkets and decorations from Goodwill
- Hot glue or epoxy
- Glitter
- Glycerin (optional)
- White spray paint
- Ribbon
Use a hot glue gun, or epoxy (for longer lasting arrangements) to attach trinkets in a fun arrangement to the lid of your jar. Make sure they are not too close to the rim and don’t extend past the lid or the jar won’t close.
Once the arrangement is secured, fill your snow globe with water, add in the glitter, carefully submerge the contents and screw on the lid. You can add a drop of glycerin to keep the glitter from falling too quickly. Just don’t add too much, or the glitter will stick to the bottom of your container.
For added festivity spray paint the bottom of the glass white and wrap a colorful ribbon around the lid. Then enjoy watching the snowflakes fall, no matter what the weather is outside.
Happy Holidays from Goodwill!
