GLITTERY MASON JAR SNOW GLOBE
Make a glittery Mason Jar Snow Globe for Christmas this year! A great winter craft to make if you aren't expecting a White Christmas where you are. Can be used as a calm jar, too!
Equipment
- Elmer's CraftBond Glue Gun + Glue Sticks
Ingredients
- Mason Jar with gasket lid
- Clear Elmer's Glue
- Snack cup (washed and dry) optional
- Bottlebrush Christmas Tree or other miniatures
- Glitter
Instructions
- Start off by hot gluing the two parts of your mason jar lid (the ring and the insert) together. You want to make sure your insert has a gasket (rubber seal) on it or it will leak all over!To make the tree sit a little higher than it would if it was attached straight to the inside of the mason jar's lid, create a base using the bottom of a fruit cup.Cut a 1/2" or so above the base, flip it over, and hot glue it to the inside of the lid. This will sit the tree a little higher!
- Next, hot glue your tree or other miniatures to the plastic base you've created.
- Then, prepare your water/glue mixture. Start by pouring Elmer's Clear Glue into your jar. For this project, a whole bottle was used for this mason jar. You could use more or less, depending on how quickly you'd like your glitter to settle.
- Then add your glitter to the jar -- For this project maybe 1/5 of the small jar of glitter was added and that seemed about right.
- Then fill the jar the rest of the way with warm water. Flip your tree lid over, slide the tree into the jar, and seal. You can hot glue it closed, if you'd prefer. Then flip over and shake gently to combine the water, glue, and glitter and you have an adorable mason jar snow globe!
