No paper.... lots of glitter, holiday project #3
So this time, no paper was involved... just lots and lots of glue and glitter.
On my visit to Anthropologie in Seattle last weekend, we not only saw this tree, but this cute... even adorable jar made into a sort of snow globe. It came in this small jelly jar size, as well as a smaller salt shaker and larger pint jar size too.
It wasn't your typical snow globe since there isn't any liquid inside... just lots of white snow (glitter)... and a rather steep price tag of $24.00 for the little jelly jar. I knew, like my tree project, I could make this at home. I ordered some trees on etsy.
All I spent was the $6.00 for the trees (6 large, 8 medium and 10 small). I had all of the other supplies.
First up I glittered my trees with silver glitter (thanks again Martha!). Then, living dangerously, I glued the trees onto my jelly jar lids while the trees were still wet! Yes, I was a bit impatient. The trees at Anthropologie appeared to be glittered with silver, even though the picture above doesn't look that way... so I stuck with what I saw in the store.... and you can never have too much glitter!
Once the glue had dried so that the trees were firmly attached to the lids, I poured white snow/glitter into each jelly jar.... about 1/2 inch deep. Then I flipped the lids over... screwed the ring on firmly...
And voila! My very own, Anthro inspired snow globes!
I like the simplicity...
And of course, the price!
Welcoming my own, snow filled weekend, or so the weather channel tells me...

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this! I know what I'm giving my canning buddy for Christmas this year!
ReplyDeleteOh they're so pretty! And you're oh-so clever! Did you use spray adhesive on the trees before sprinkling with glitter? Terrific idea...thanks for the how-to lesson. -Mary

Love your snow globe! Better than Anthrogoloie!
ReplyDeleteVery, Very cute. I did this years ago, saw it in a Martha magazine of course...and I still use them. I found vintage santas somewhere and used those, and some trees. Great job!
