DIY Snowman Snow Globe for Christmas

310shares

Make a DIY Snow Globe with your kids this Christmas!

Christmas is around the corner so we all know what that means! Endless snowman, angel and santa crafts!

Personally, I never thought it would mean Frozen. But ever since my toddler has been swept away by the popular Disney movie, it’s been a major focus around Christmas. We even made snowflake ornaments inspired by the film. Yes, we’ve joined the craze but I now understand why the movie is such a hit! I find the lyrics stuck in my head each day and night, after my son bursts out with “Let it goooooo! Let it gooooo!” serenades.

Because he’s been so into Frozen, especially the snowman scenes, I decided to put together a snowman snow globe he could play with each time he wants to build a snowman so to speak ;). I also wanted a snow globe that would serve as a cute Christmas gift.

Materials

  • Baby food jar
  • Baby oil
  • Distilled water
  • Glitter (we love this toddler-friendly shaker-top!)
  • Snowman (or other figurine)
  • Hot Glue
  • Ribbon

How I created the snow globe:

First, I gathered all the materials I needed and laid them out in front of me to see how everything would look. I’m glad I did this because when I saw how small my snowman figurine actually was, I realized I needed a little platform to lift it up in the jar.

Luckily, I found a votive candle with a little case that was perfect for my needs.

With the hot glue gun, I easily attached the candle to the lid, and then to the snowman.

I added some glitter and sparkly decor and then carefully attached the lid to the jar.  (Note: If you have little ones who are curious, it may be a good idea to glue the lid closed to avoid accidents.)

Lastly, I added a decorative ribbon to complete the look.

This was a relatively easy snow globe to make, and you can dress it up with whatever accessories you want!

    Such a cute idea! I would have never thought to put baby oil in a homemade snow globe.

      Thanks Bev! Yeah, I did some research and saw that baby oil could be used in place of glycerin.
