Dollar Store Snow Globes!

The Dollar Challenge is back, Christmas style, with this super easy, $3 Snow Globe:

What You'll Need: 

1. A glass jar (this rounded jar from dollar tree works great and mimics an actual globe)

2. Glitter

3. Strong, waterproof glue (I used E600)

4. Small waterproof decorations (ceramic, glass or plastic work best)

5. Water!

I got all my supplies at the Dollar Tree! I used a rounded glass jar, three colors of glitter (all came in the same package) and a small figurine of a boy building a snowman 

First, glue your decor to the inside of the lid of your jar:

Then, sprinkle a generous amount of glitter into the jar:

Now, add the water! Add slowly to avoid too much glitter floating to the top

This glitter was pretty buoyant :(. Not too worry if your glitter floats just use your finger and gently tap on the surface of the water, this will knock the glitter back down. 

Fill the jar almost to the brim to make sure the globe will be completely full. 

Once the glue is dry on your decor, screw the lid back onto the jar, some water will overflow, this is fine! 

Then turn back over and enjoy! 

Let it snow!!

You could also use other things besides just glitter for the snow, like sequins or table scatter, or even fake snow from a craft store! 

Thrift stores are another great place to find small trinkets and figurines for your snow globes! 

Be Creative and Happy Holidays! 

Thanks for stopping by!
