DIY Hanging Snow Globes

Christmas, crafts, DIY November 8, 2015

November is kind of an awkward month for bloggers.  We’ve got one foot in the Fall and Thanksgiving season, and another foot in the Christmas season. We try to showcase Christmas decor early to provide inspiration, kind of like the stores but we don’t start quite as early as they do!  Today I’m sharing DIY hanging snow globes that are ridiculously easy to make and look so pretty, too!  It’s part of today’s Celebrations of Home hop (you can visit the other participating bloggers via the links at the end of this post).

How to make hanging snow globes from glass terrariumsYou can find hanging globe terrariums at craft stores and online. Mine have hooks on the bottom to daisy chain them together. When creating my DIY hanging snow globes, I placed the globe in a small bowl for stability.

If your hands are too big, you can use small tongs or tweezers to place items.

Tie a festive ribbon or baker’s twine to the top of your globe for hanging.

I think this little Old World Snowman globe is my favorite.

 

Hanging Snow Globe with Votive CandleAnother idea for these DIY hanging snow globes is to simply add a tea light candle.

You can use the flameless style votive … I like the real thing though.
