If you love snow (but not shoveling snow) or if you live in the sunny South, we've got the perfect way to enjoy a snowstorm without getting your feet cold. Make a DIY snow globe! Many of these can be created with basic craft supplies, repurposed containers, and lots of glitter! It's so simple to create your very own winter wonderland, and you may already have most of these items around the house. This is also a great project if you're new to DIY-ing (or strapped for time) because it's simple and quick; you can make most of these in less than 30 minutes.
These DIY snow globes are great Christmas crafts for kids to make (with minimal supervision!) as gifts for friends and family. Plus, they're inexpensive and one-of-a-kind. You can make them with a theme for the holidays, or create more generic winter scenes so you can leave them out all season long. Let these ideas inspire you to make a few of your own to display as centerpieces, on end tables, and anywhere you need a little wintry cheer. Now, turn up the Christmas music and start crafting these fun and easy DIY snow globes.
