Welcome to PAGE TWO of Turn Little Family Photos And Made BEAUTIFUL Holiday Snow Globes Tutorial.
You will be attaching your snow globe objects to the inside of the jar lid and submerging them upside down so the finished snow globe site with the jar lid on the bottom. It’s pretty ingenious and works really well.
What you will need:
- Glass jars or mason jars (any size)
- Photos printed and cut to fit the jar
- Laminate (to protect the photos)
- Glitter
- Hot glue
- Embellishments (garland, rocks, snowmen, anything that won’t break down in water to decorate jar)
Instructions:
- You will create your scene on the underside of the jar lid. I just use plain ol’ hot glue.
- If you have things with wide, flat bases, they’re easy to just glue right on. But if you have something like my little plastic pictures, or a tree sprig with a tiny twig at the bottom, I’ve found that it’s easier for me if I have something like little rocks to help keep things in place. You can pile some glue down there, put your object in, and then mound some pebbles around it to adhere everything together as the glue dries.
- It’s just important to remember to keep things away from the edges enough that you can still screw the lid onto the jar, so don’t fill the entire base with glue or rocks. When everything is dry turn it upside down and shake it a few times to make sure nothing falls off!
- The next step is filling up your jar with water, almost to the very top and dumping in a bunch of glitter. I recommend adding a little more glitter than you think you need, especially if you have greenery because some of it will get stuck in there.
- One thing you can do is add some glycerin, which makes the glitter float down a little slower than it does in plain water. (Or several readers have commented that baby oil accomplishes the same thing. You can also find snow globe “snow” on ebay at at some craft stores.)
- Carefully squish your stuff in the jar as you put the lid on and tighten it. You can put hot glue on the edge of the jar if you’re want to seal it up.
That’s all there is to it!! This is what the finished product can look like..
