How To Make A Mini Snow Globe

Follow the simple steps below to learn how to make your own mini snow globe ornaments that you can use to decorate your home this holiday season.

Supplies Needed

Here’s what you’ll need to gather:

• 2-3/8 inch Glass Cube Ornaments
• Mini Sisal Trees (in 1-inch and 1.5-inch sizes)
• Artificial snow
• Hot Glue Gun
• Decoupage Medium
• Foam Brush (or paint brush)
• White Glitter
• Tweezers

Miniature Snow Globe Instructions

Making your own mini snow globes is easy! Here’s what you’ll need to do…

Step 1: Clean Glass Ornaments

Using a damp cloth, clean the inner and outer surfaces of the glass ornaments. This will help remove any dust that may prevent your decoupage medium from sticking properly.

Step 2: Add Decoupage Medium to Ornament

Once the ornaments are dry, use a foam brush to spread a thin layer of Decoupage medium to the back of your ornaments.

Step 3: Sprinkle on Glitter

As soon as the coat of Decoupage is on, immediately sprinkle on the white glitter, shake off excess, and then allow it to dry completely.

Tip: You can seal your glitter with another coat of decoupage if you find it falls off.

Step 4: Place Miniature Sisal Trees

Add a drop of hot glue to the bottom of the trees. Using the tweezers, grab the top of the miniature sisal trees and place them inside the glass ornaments.

Position and stick to the bottom of the ornament. Continue this until you have filled the ornaments with the desired amount of trees.

Step 5: Add Artificial Snow

Once your ornament is filled, add a generous amount of artificial snow to fill in the gaps and give it that perfect wintry look.

Replace the cap of your ornament and give it a shake for a fun water-less snow globe effect!

Step 6: Hang and Enjoy!

Now, you are all set to hang your mini snow globes on the tree or give them as a gift this holiday season.

Happy holidays!
