Handmade Christmas Snow Globes (21–30)
Christmas snow globe made with a sponge
A snow globe made with sponge that lets you enjoy a soft texture.
Shape the sponge into a round form to mimic snow and decorate it by inserting Christmas picks.
Secure the sponge firmly to the jar lid with a hot glue gun.
By adding a mixture of glitter, water, and liquid glue, you can enjoy the beautiful sight of glitter slowly drifting down.
The key to this snow globe is using the sponge to create a three-dimensional look and easily adding a festive Christmas feel with the picks.
It’s easy enough for beginners to make and makes a delightful gift.
Snow Globe Made with a Plastic Cup
A snow globe made with a plastic cup features a charming three-dimensional design.
Use paper clay to create a snowman, and make a 3D Christmas tree with origami.
For the tree, cut slits into two sheets of origami paper and interlock them to create depth.
Draw freely on the plastic cup with a permanent marker, place cotton on thick paper, and glue it down.
Arrange the snowman and tree on top, sprinkle glitter, then cover with the cup to finish.
The sparkling decorations seen through the clear plastic cup enhance the Christmas atmosphere, and the process of making it is part of the fun.
Wall-mounted snow globe
A wall-mounted snow globe is a stylish item you can enjoy without taking up space.
Draw pictures of a snowman or a tree on construction paper and carefully cut them out with scissors.
Arrange the cutouts on a piece of construction paper attached to the bottom of a cup, then place small pieces of yarn inside the cup.
The yarn cleverly creates a snow-like effect.
Put on the lid, decorate the outside of the cup, and attach a string at the end to complete a design you can hang on the wall! Because it uses lightweight, durable materials, it’s easy for children to handle and makes it simple to create original decorations.
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.
