Steps to Make the Snow Globe Present Toppers

- Use your scissors to cut off top hanger from the ornament.
- Trace the ornament half onto your chipboard and cut it out with your scissors.
- Glue your desired miniatures to the chipboard circle with hot glue. This is the fun part! You can use whatever miniatures you want.
