How To Make Waterless Snow Globes

Waterless snow globes are fun to shake and are so easy to make, even the kids can do it!

First, Gather Your Supplies

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy here.

*you can find all of these supplies at a local craft store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby, or Amazon (click the links to find them on Amazon)

• Glass jars (varying sizes look best for a collection)
• Artificial Snow (I used Snow Flakes and Twinkle Flakes)
• Hot glue gun and glue
• Assorted mini Christmas Trees and mini snowmen
• Spray Adhesive (optional)
• glitter (optional)
• Krylon Glitter Blast (or white spray paint)

Now, Let’s Make Waterless Snow Globe

(full printable directions at the end of this post)

Start by removing the lids and painting them with spray paint.  I used the Krylon Glitter Blast in silver, but white would work just as well.

Next, and this is totally optional (step not shown) – I sprayed the trees and snowmen with spray adhesive and then sprinkled them with glitter for a little extra sparkle.

Now you are ready to hot glue your trees and snowmen to the lids (I also glued the canning lids together).

Now for the fun part!

It’s time to add the snow. Fill jars with just a little snow. You don’t need much, you don’t want the snow to bury your snowmen or trees.  Just add enough snow to cover the bottom of the jar.

Time to put it all together!!

Since your trees and snowmen are glued to the lid, you can now pick up the lids and screw them back on to the jar.

Turn them over and you’re done!

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW……LET IT SNOW!

They are perfect for a centerpiece, on a mantel, on a window sill, or little kids’ hands 😉

Go ahead and shake them up and watch the magic in their eyes!

These are just too fun and easy to make – after waiting for my lids to dry, I made all 4 of these in under a half hour.  It’s a great holiday craft to do with the kids!

Have fun!
