Snow Jars... My Way

I’m rather pleased with my little snow jars.

With all the traveling I have been doing, I hadn’t seen the pictures on Pinterest of the snow globes from Anthropologie.  So after Thanksgiving when we were in the store, I picked up one of the cute jars.  

And very carefully set it back down.  Seriously… they wanted $38 for a quart size snow globe. 

Methinks not! 

Next day I hit the Dollar Tree.  Package with 2 mini snow frocked evergreen trees… $1.  Package with a set of three people… $1.

One for Little Bird.

One for Little Hoss.

And one for me.

Jars from my stockpile.  I got this at Home Goods for $2.50.

Glitter.  Used about $5 worth (Martha is spendy but it’s good stuff!).  Had a lot left over.

I glued the figures down with a hot glue gun.  Then I brushed white glue on the bottom of each jar and poured in some of the finest glitter.  Swirled it around to cover the bottom of the jar.  I wanted the bottom to not be able to be seen thru when the jar is shaken.  

Then I poured in a bunch of the course and medium glitters ( I mixed them to what I liked the looks of... not too dusty).  

And ta-da!  Snow globes. 

Anthropologie… $38 each.   

Teri… $5.50 each.   

Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!
