DIY Snow Globe from a Mason Jar

Learn how to make this easy DIY snow globe from a mason jar. This easy Christmas craft is a great mason jar craft that the whole family can do!

When I think back on Christmas as a child, I don’t remember the gifts I received, but rather the time and fun activities I shared with family. I can’t tell you my favorite present Santa brought when I was five, but I do remember driving around and looking at the Christmas lights. My point is that Christmas isn’t remembered in gifts, but rather memories of time spent with loved ones. I’m going to try to slow down this year and participate in more fun activities with my kids. This easy DIY snow globe from a mason jar will be the first!

My kids love to create. More than that they love when we can create together. 

This isn’t the prettiest snow globe, and if I could do it over I would have done a few things differently.

(As a matter of fact, my husband asked if I peed in a mason jar and put a bow on it. Oh my sweet husband. I’ll leave it at that).

But…….

This is an easy craft that anyone can create with loved ones around the holidays.

Heck, it doesn’t even have to be the holidays to create this.

My son asked if he could make a DIY snow globe with his legos!

So put the tablets and the TV to the side, pull out a few old mason jars, grab some Elmer’s glue and a few small trinkets and let’s get started!
