Some of the crafts here would even be great gifts from your little ones made special for relatives or grandparents! And what could be a better way to share your love and affection for the special folks in your life than a handmade holiday gift? We’re sharing some great hands-on crafts for kids and a delightful ornament tutorial on today’s blog!

DIY Your Own Water Snow Globe

What You Will Need:

Recycled or new glass jars with matching tight fitting lids or snowglobe containers
Optional: decoupage and paper, spray paint, or felt for Jar Lid
Hot Glue or E6000 Epoxy Glue or Super Glue (both to be used by adults)
Glitter and/or small sequins
A small container of glycerin
Miniature toy cars or miniature figures that fit on jar lids
Distilled water

How to Make It:

Paint or decoupage your lid if desired. Arrange your decorations on the jar lid, and secure them with the glue. Allow to dry fully (check glue container, tube, or glue sticks package for dry time.)

Once your decorations are glued and dry. Add your glitter or sequins to the clean, empty jar, add ½ teaspoon or so of glycerin to the jar, and pour distilled water into the jar until it’s just about full, leaving room for your decorated lid to fit inside.

Add glue to the edge of your jar lid, secure it tightly to the top of the jar and allow the glue to fully set and dry (yes, your decorations will be upside down until the glue is fully dry and sealed!) Add glue around the edges of the seal once the lid is applied.

Once the glue is all dried and fully sealed, flip your jar over, and voila!! It’s a snow globe you’ve made all on your own!
