mason jar sunday - DIY snow "mason jar" globes!

by jacin on November 28, 2010

today’s mason jar sunday is SO special!!  i came across these lovelies on pinterest last week and couldn’t wait to showcase them on the blog.

without further ado, i give you - mason jar snow scene jar “how-to” from rhonna farrer!
 
Supplies:
Mason Jars & lids (varying sizes)
Spray paint (I chose a light aqua)
Fake snow & glitter
Little treasures to fill the jars (here, I’ve got bottle brush trees , silver trees & reindeer)
House of 3 Christmas messages printed & cut out

Steps:
1. Gather supplies. Spray paint the lids & tops of your bottles.

2. Fill jar with just a bit of snow & glitter. (on some bottles I even sprayed adhesive inside & then shook glitter inside for a little shimmer. *photos didn’t turn out*)
Check out this link on adding water/glycerin too!

3. Right ON the jar lid, hot glue your treasures.  *TIP* Add clear pebbles to make your reindeer and trees to stand tall above the snow.

4. After you’ve got your little treasures glued onto the lid, put the lid together & turn upside down….& screw the lid on. Turn back upside down, shake the snow & glitter around & you’ve got your snowscape!
Ideas:
You can add anything inside! Here, I’ve printed out House of 3 tags & hung it from the top of the jar so it is hanging above the little white bottle brush trees!

This one is filled with a white bird & silver tinsel trees…along with a vintage text flower & leaves i glued on wire so it would stand up behind the bird…it’s perched!

Line up your snow scene jars to create a little winter wonderland. I doubled some of the jars to add varying height.

thank you rhonna for your lovely tips!

oh, and see the pretty clutch below? it could be yours!  enter the giveaway today!
