11 Snow Globe Ornament Craft For Kids
The snow globes are one of the most interesting things to look at during the Christmas season.
The globe is filled with water and tiny figures of people, animals or anything you like tend to fall over each other as they dance around on top of each other.
In this article, we will show you how to make homemade snow globes and how easy it is!
DIY Snow Globe Ornament
Materials.
- a glass jar (any size, but the bigger the better)
- paint and paintbrush for decorating the jar
- glitter glue and glitter for decorating the jar
- small fake snow flakes (you can buy them in craft stores)
Instructions.
To make a snow globe ornament, you will first have to decorate your jar. Once it’s dry, add a layer of glue over your painted surface so that it sticks to anything inside.
Next, fill up the jar with fake snowflakes and then pour water into it—this will allow the orb to keep its spherical shape when filled with liquid or other materials such as sand or flour. You can also add glitter while doing this step if you want some extra sparkle!
For an even easier way of making this craft project come together faster than expected, simply use stickers instead of making designs on each glass rim by hand using paintbrushes.”
Stamped Clay Snow Globe Ornaments
Make sure you have all of the materials by your work area and that they are ready to go.
Roll out your white clay into a strip about 1/4″ wide and the length that you want your snow globe to be. You can make it as long or short as you like, depending on how much space is available for stamping!
Take one end of the strip and fold it over itself, then push down with fingers until there are no air bubbles in between layers of clay. This will help prevent air bubbles in your finished product!
Press down on an empty piece of paper towel with a black paint stirrer to get rid of any excess water from rolling out or flattening clay (it’s ok if some drips onto a paper towel). Then place the black ink pad into the center so that it touches both sides even when folded together again – this will give us nice even lines when applying stamps later!
Edible Snow Globe Ornament
Make a snow globe using gelatin.
- Add edible glitter, food coloring, and sprinkles!
Add candy such as candy canes or candy corn.
Glass Ball Snow Globe Ornament
One of the best things about glass ball ornaments is that they come in a variety of sizes, so you can find one to fit your snow globe’s diameter.
Another great thing is that they’re easy to decorate with paint, glitter, and other embellishments if you want to make them extra special.
Even though glass balls are typically used for Christmas trees, there are plenty of other ways we’ve seen them repurposed around the holidays.
We’ve seen people fill them with marbles for a wintery marble art project, and use them as part of their holiday decor as part of a wreath hanging from their front door or chandelier lighting display—the possibilities are endless!
Snowman Sticker Snow Globes
To make a snowman sticker, cut out a circle and a smaller circle in the middle,
Grab some stickers and glue them on!
Draw the face of your snowman, then glue on facial features like eyes, nose, mouth and buttons or hat, etc…
Mini Mason Jar Snow Globes
Materials.
- Mini mason jars (you can find these at craft stores like Michael’s and Hobby Lobby)
- Waterproof glue (like E6000) or hot glue gun to glue the snowballs onto the jar.
Decorations.
You can use a variety of things for decorations–from buttons and beads to threads and yarns, etc. Just make sure everything is waterproof!
Instructions: First, paint your mini mason jar with acrylic craft paint in any color you want. Let dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Next, roll some fake snow into tiny balls about 1/4 inch in diameter (about 3 mm). Use waterproof glue or a hot glue gun to secure these balls onto the outside of your mini mason jar around its circumference as shown by the example above.
Make sure not to fill up too much space though because you won’t be able to fit anything else inside! Finally, put whatever decorations you want inside before screwing on the top cap firmly then add water & watch it come alive with color & movement!

Waterless Shaker Globes For Kids
Materials.
- A cardboard box or similar.
- Sandpaper, to smooth out the surface of your cardboard box.
- Glue (white glue or hot glue).
Paint, to make your snow globe unique. We used acrylic paints because they dry quickly and are easy for kids to use! You can also use watercolors if you don’t mind waiting for them to dry (and this is a great way for younger children to practice their coloring skills).
For this project, we decided on two colors—green and blue—and mixed them in different ways depending on which animal was being made: an owl with blue eyes and a green body, a penguin with a pink nose and blue tail feathers…the list goes on!
To seal in the paint once it was dry we added some clear varnish spray over top which gave everything more depth and made it shiny too!
