Ok so have about a dozen mason jars leftover from another project I was working on and wanted to do the fun snow globe mason jar’s I’ve seen around online. They are as easy as they look and so much fun! I made 6 with the kiddo’s and I think I’m more addicted to them then anyone else 
Here’s what you need:
- Mason Jars
- E6000 glue
- Ornaments or plastic/ceramic figurines (that fit through the lid of your mason jar)
- Glycerine
- Water
- Glitter
- OPTIONAL: Paint if you want to paint your lid
Tutorials that I used to make mine, thought I’d list a couple so you can choose the one you like best, but all of them use the same essential supplies above.

Wondering why the glycerine? Can the snow globes be made without it? Thanks!
Hi Kaymie, the glycerine helps the glitter not stick to the sides or top and makes the glitter a bit “slippery” I find that I used about 1 tablespoon, if I use more than it gets to lumpy
These are adorable… I’ve done them with my 4-H’ers using baby food jars, but the blue Mason jars and zinc lids bring these from the realm of kids’ crafts to something anyone would love to display!
Thanks Mary Jo! yeah the blue mason jars look so great as snowglobes, I didn’t even paint the lids like in some tutorials as I liked them just as is
(And I have a 2-quart blue Mason Special that is just screaming at me now to make a snow globe!)
do it do it!
I remember using Ivory laundry soap flakes for snow….would the glitter and soap work?
oooh.. that sounds like it’s worth a try. I would imagine that a mix of the two would work..
