Snow Globes

Last year I stopped in at an Anthropologie around the holidays and saw that they were selling 'dry' snow globes, mason jars and salt shakers with little winter scenes and glitter for snow and I thought, I could do that! So this year I decided to attempt it. 

I gathered up the following

some old jars - from salsa, peanut butter, whatever I had around

the tops of some bottles I cut

glitter - white and silver

small trees

little animals

small sled

small ornaments to use in the tops of cut bottles and to hold tree in salt shaker

styrofoam balls 

glue gun

mat board to be the bottom on cut bottles 

spray paint

first I spray painted the jar lids to cover up the branding on them, these will become the bottom of the snow globe that the winter scene will be attached to

I cut mat board to be the bottom of the cut bottles

then I laid out all the bottles and their bottoms and put together scenes for each of them

once the scenes were assembled I used the glue gun to secure them 

for the jars I added glitter and then screwed the bottoms on

for the cut bottles I used the glue gun to attach the mat board to the bottom then poured the glitter in through the hole on the top then glued an ornament in place on top to hold the glitter in

For this simple one I used a cut styrofoam  ball and two penguins

For the salt shaker I used a christmas ornament to hold a tree which adds an fun little tipsy element
