Baby Food Jar Snow Globes
My baby girl is just starting to eat solids, so I have a bunch of baby food jars hanging out. So I turned a bunch of them into mini snow globes and they turned out so stinkin cute!! I’m seriously in love with them! Oh, and I might just be handing these out to neighbors and friends. They make such a cute little Christmas gift!
I love it when I find a way to reuse and make it beautiful!
How to Make Snow Globes Tutorial
Supplies:
- empty baby food jars {Stage 2 size is the cutest, in my opinion, but all sizes work just fine!}
- mini fake trees
- Goo Gone
- Glycerin {I found it at the Walmart pharmacy}
- Glass & Bead glue OR Epoxy
- Glitter {colored chunkier glitter works best. Don’t use clear or fine glitter}
- Gold spray paint
- distilled water
- Remove the labels off the jars and clean off the glue with Goo Gone.
- Spray paint the lids gold {or desired color}.
- Put a little glue on both the inside of the lid and the bottom of the fake tree. Allow to dry for 1-2 minutes and then press the tree onto the lid. Allow to dry for 24 hours.
4. Add about 1 teaspoon of glitter into each jar.
5. Fill with distilled water and add 5 drops of Glycerin. {5 drops seemed to work the best.} Screw the lid {with the tree} onto the top and you’ve got yourself the cutest mini snow globe ever!
And that is how you make Baby Food Jar Snow Globes!
