DIY Mason Jar Snow Globes
Materials needed:
- Glass mason jar with a tight lid
- figurines (plastic animals, trees, or ornaments)
- Glycerine (this helps the “snow” fall slowly)
- Distilled water
- Glitter or faux snow
- Strong waterproof adhesive (like E6000 or a hot glue gun)
Why I like it: It’s a classic for a reason. It captures that “winter magic” in a bottle and is highly customizable—you can go vintage with a tiny bottle brush tree or whimsical with a plastic figurine.
