Sprinkle a little bit of DIY snow globe magic into your Christmas decor this festive season with our easy tutorial on how to make a snow globe. Christmas is fast approaching and you can never be too prepared, plus this is a very fun craft just to have a go at, Christmas or not! Create these fun snow globes as part of your own Christmas display, or gift them to friends and family as a thoughtful festive keepsake, when stored carefully you should be able to use them again each year.
For our how to make a snow globe tutorial, we used a pickle jar, but you can use anything with a water-tight lid, jam jars, gravy jars, and even coffee jars all work well. We have used some plastic figurines in our snowglobe, but you can use whatever you like as long as it is waterproof. We had some colour run with our first attempt so it is definitely worth testing your figures in water before you add them to a snowglobe - otherwise, you might end up with discoloured water.
In this tutorial, we will share the easiest and most effective ways to create a snow globe without the hassle. You can follow along with our video tutorial, or go to the step-by-step guide below and find out exactly how to make a snow globe.
