Homemade Snow Globes :)

Boy, did I have fun  making these babies.  I made these snow globes as a little gifts for friends and families during the Christmas holiday.  I thought they were cute and who wouldn't love a snow globe with their pictures inside of it to make it extra special.  It was a big hit for me and its one of those little gifts that they would remember it because they were made out of love.  These were low cost to make and perfect for those who are on a tight budget.  It was easy to make and I had alot of fun making these!


(hehe...notice the Tiger rice cooker in the back)


Here's what I used:

  • Jars with their own lids. ( I found these jars with glued on reindeer, snowman and santa clause at my local Dollar Tree store, purchased it the day after Christmas so they were 50% off.)
  • Photos that I laminated (Photos has to be able to fit inside the jar)
  • Distilled water 
  • Fine glitter
  • Glycerine 


As for the jar, I also used recycle jar that was laying around in my house. They work just as well too.
