Handmade Christmas Snow Globes (21–30)
Waterless glowing snow globe
A waterless, light-up snow globe is an item that brightens the atmosphere of your room just by displaying it.
Make a small hole in a dome-shaped case and secure figurines like Santa inside.
Thread an LED light through the hole and arrange it, wrapping the wire around as you go.
Conceal the wire with cotton to create a soft, snowy landscape.
Place glitter and your favorite decorations on the cotton, then close the lid to finish.
The LED light shines gently, making Christmas nights even more romantic, and this snow globe is also recommended as a special piece of interior decor.
Educational snow globe
A snow globe made flat using a clear file—its ease of making, thanks to the flat format, is a major appeal.
Just cut the clear file into a circle and attach felt to imitate the base, and your foundation is done.
Then decorate freely inside the circle.
Use construction paper for Santa Claus, felt for a three-dimensional snowman, and pack the season snugly into the small circle.
Arranging beads to create a frame around the circle or adding glitter will also bring out the snow globe atmosphere nicely—highly recommended.
Handmade Christmas Snow Globes (31–40)
Snow globe made with a paper plate and dip cup lid
A snow globe made using a paper plate and a dip cup lid.
Its key feature is that it can be made from lightweight, safe materials.
Cut slits in the paper plate, trim along the circle, then roll the outer piece and staple it.
Adjust the dip cup lid and the paper plate circle to the same size, and glue on illustrations or star-shaped decorations.
Make a slit in the paper plate base and insert the piece to finish.
Because it’s lightweight and easy to carry, kids can make it safely.
By choosing different paper plate colors and adding hand-drawn illustrations, you can create a warm, Christmas-like atmosphere.
A snow globe where you can insert a photo
This is a stylish snow globe made using an interior bottle with a cork.
The white colored sand spread across the bottom evokes a clear image of a winter landscape covered in snow.
Being careful not to dirty the sides of the bottle, add the colored sand, then freely arrange photos and ornaments with tweezers.
Seal the cork tightly, and it’s complete.
If you add too many decorations, it can feel cramped, so decorate the whole piece while keeping some open space and maintaining good balance.
