Our DIY Snow Globe Will Complete Your Holiday Décor

Dreaming of a white Christmas? Create your own winter wonderland this year by making a snow globe. This simple DIY is perfect for the season and its materials are easy to source: Almost any jar works, but a wide-mouth iteration is ideal as it gives you more room to position the details of your wintry vignette. Glycerin can found in your pharmacy's health and beauty aisle, while epoxy and glitter are available at any craft store.

The details inside your snow globe are just as important as the globe itself. Create a tiny polymer clay snowman by rolling three white balls in descending sizes, squeezing a few dots of glue, and stacking them. Then roll off even tinier details (a carrot nose, black button eyes, scarf, and top hat) to give your character personality.

Alternatively, you can use toy figurines like reindeer, skiers, carolers, or a jolly Santa. To create a longer-lasting globe, look for plastic or ceramic figurines, as metal ones are prone to rust. Round out your nostalgic wintry scene with synthetic evergreen tips.
