How to Make Winter Snow Globe Jars

November 21, 2013  Christmas | My Projects | Uncategorized

How to make winter snow globe jars (my family loved making these) kellyelko.com

Gather around my good little girls and boys for a magical story.

No, it’s not about a reindeer who could fly nor about a jolly old man that leaves presents under the tree.

 

Imagine a happy place where the snow is always pure white and glistening…

you don’t need to own a snow shovel …

and you can stroll over a footbridge in the festive town square never worrying about slipping on ice and breaking a hip.

Make Snow Village Jars - my family loved making these! kellyelko.com

Yes, my friends, such a place really does exist.

In my snow globe jars.

These pedestrian only jars don’t have to worry about cars creating brown slush.

How to Make Winter Village Jars

Supplies:

– Jars (I used one 2 gallon, a 1 gallon and a 1/2 gallon jar)
– Dollar store ceramic houses, people and trees
– Spray paint (my favorites are copper, gold and silver)
– Epsom salts (snow!)

1) Order jars in different sizes (2 gallon, 1 gallon and 1/2 gallon)

2) Run to the dollar store and stock up on ugly ceramic houses, churches, snowmen, people and cute trees

3) Spray paint the ugly ceramic pieces

4) Pour snow (epsom salts!) into your jars

5) Arrange your village

6) Throw away your shovel and enjoy the winter wonderland

Best part about these jars is that I have tons of uses for them once the snow melts.

I love putting them on my counter tops filled with flour, sugar and salt with cute little measuring cup scoops.

    Kelly,
    There are so many to choose from. I do have to say lately, that anything my sweet 6 year old granddaughter sings to me becomes my favorite “at that moment”! There’s something magical about the enthusiasm and excitement in a child’s voice as they burst into song. Even though the notes may be slightly off key at times, it sounds like angel to me! : )
    Thank for the wonderful idea with the jars and the chance for a giveaway. How fun and easy!
    PS….call me slow, but I’ve always went and bought packaged snow. I’d never thought of using epsom salts. Dollar Store, here I come

    I’m torn between “Silent Night” and “O Holy Night.” They are calm and soothing, which holiday times usually aren’t 😉 love your display and that it’s reusable. Cute jars for other stuff later and Epsom salts for a good soak after the holiday madness. Thanks for the giveaway. Happy Holidays!

    My favorite Christmas carol has always been “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas” by Bing Crosby. Now that we live in South Carolina, the chances of a white Christmas is “slim to none”. Nevertheless, it is still my favorite.
    Your snow globe ideas are fantastic! They look easy and fun to do make and would be inexpensive if you shop for materials at the dollar store. This way, this old gal could put several around the house and think back to the White Christmas’s I enjoyed and shared with my family. Thanks for the ideas!

    Hard to pick just one carol!! Straight No Chaser is obvious, but The 12 Pains of Christmas is a definate contender in my top 5…Carol of The Bells is timeless as well as White Christmas. Elvis’ Blue Christmas…gosh O could go on and on…lol! Would love love love to win these jars! Great giveaway Kelly!

I did use a bunch of bottle brush trees all around my kitchen, can you guess where? I hope I can whip up something similar and will let you know, these are perfect, was dreaming of a Christmas village, but now I can make a small one! THANK YOU!
