Solar Light Snow Globes

When you think of snow globes, doesn’t it make you feel nostalgic? There once was a time when snow globes were a classic Christmas item, and chances are, you had one as a child. Take the classic snow globe outside to add a warm winter glow to your walkway with this do it yourself project.

                                               Supplies:

Mason Jars

Miniature Snowmen

Plastic Snowflakes

Tacky Glue

Glitter Snow

26 Gauge Wire

Solar Mason Jar Lids (found in the craft store)

 I found these cute snowmen at Hobby Lobby...

I used tacky glue to add plastic snowflakes to the inside of the mason jars. The glue will be white but will dry clear. The snowflakes were on a strand and I cut them to have individual ones.

I added tacky glue to the bottom of the snowmen and placed them in the jars. I used tongs to help put the snowmen in place and then allowed the glue to dry.

I poured "snow" into the jars.

For each jar, I cut one piece of wire 12 inches long, then twisted the wire to form a loop at each end.

I cut a second wire that will wrap around the jar 4 times. I then threaded the loops on the first wire onto the second wire and wrapped the long piece of wire around the jar and twisted to secure.

Finally, I added the solar lids that I found at Michael's to the jars.

I hung the snow globes outside on hooks along my sidewalk and can enjoy the warm magical glow of a winter wonderland.
