Let it Snow! Let it Snow! In a Globe!

Happy Holidays!

Now that Christmas will be creeping up faster than you think, it's time to stop staring at all of your DIY boards on Pinterest and start putting your crafting skills to use! Many of the crafts on Pinterest seem overwhelming, but here is one I found that turned out even better than I had expected. The original craft I found just used wine glasses and a few trees with snow. I took it a few steps further and added different Christmas themed pieces under my wine glasses and added some bells and ribbon. The best thing about this project is that you can create snow globes using your own style and personality. They also make the best gifts!

Snow Globe Wine Glasses

Materials:
4 Wine Glasses
4 Sheets of Green Felt
1 Glue Gun (and sticks)
Scissors
1 Roll Thin Ribbon
Variety of Items To Place Underneath Glass
Artificial Snow
Cardboard
4 Small Bells

Directions:
1. Heat up your glue gun.
2. Flip a wine glass upside down and use it to measure a circle on the cardboard. Cut the cardboard piece out (This will be used as the base).
3. Measure and cut two felt pieces the same way, however, draw the circles 1cm larger in circumference around the outsides.
4. Take one felt piece and place it over the piece of cardboard. Using the glue gun, glue the extra edges onto the back side of the cardboard. Glue the second piece of felt onto the other side. Don't worry, if one side looks worse than the other, use that side as the top because it will be covered with snow =).
5. Take whatever item you want to present under your globe and glue it to the base.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup or less of snow into your wine glass. Once you have done this, line the rim of your wine glass with glue.
7. Carefully take your base piece and turn it upside down into the wine glass to attach the entire globe together.
8. Once dry, measure and cut a piece of ribbon. Follow by adhering the ribbon around the outside of the base.
9. Lastly, attach bells, ribbon, or anything else you can think of to add some holiday cheer to your snow globe. (There are never too many sparkles =)).

Now it's time to gift it to that special someone in your life. Have fun with this and I hope you are enjoying the holidays! xo
