Make a beautiful mason jar snow globe in under 5 minutes! This simple tutorial will teach you how to make a snow globe in a mason jar to decorate with for the holiday and winter season.
There’s something magical about turning a snow globe upside down and watching the small glitter flakes happily dance down to the bottom of the jar. When I was in Anthropologie recently I saw some lovely snow globes made out of mason jars that I fell in love with.
Each Anthropologie snow globe mason jar was adorable, but I knew that I could make them for a LOT cheaper using mason jars from my collection and some bottle brush trees.
I found my bottle brush trees at Home Depot (of all places) for around $7.50 for a BIG bag of 21 trees. Such a great deal!
Here’s how to make my Anthropologie inspired snow globes, with a much more reasonable price tag.
BONUS: These DIY mason jar snow globes can be made in under 5 minutes each!
How to Make a Mason Jar Snow Globe
Supplies:
- Mason jars (any shape and size you want)
- Bottle brush trees
- Fake snow or epsom salt (I used fake snow because I wanted it fluffier than Anthro’s version)
- Glue gun
- Clear glitter (optional)
- Small rocks or clear pebbles (optional)
Step 2. Add as much snow and glitter as you would like to the jar, with the opening up top.
Screw on the lid, turn the mason jar snow globe upside down, and be amazed at how beautiful your new snow globe is (and how easy it was to make).
This DIY mason jar snow globe looks so pretty in my home. A snow globe made out of a mason jar would make a thoughtful gift for friends, neighbors, and teachers.
I hope you enjoyed learning how to make a snow globe in a mason jar. They really are cheap, fast, and easy, which is the best kind of DIY project, right?
P.S. If you were thinking about adding water and glycerin to this version, DON’T, unless you want to have a “blue Christmas” 😉
Not that I would ever try such a silly thing…
