Inexpensive stemware from IKEA are easily converted into interesting snow globes…
Small plastic reindeer (picked up at Michaels for a few dollars) are caught in a winter scene under glass.
Place glass upside down onto cardboard and trace the circumference of the opening. I used cardboard from a cracker box – but you could also use a card too.
Using a hot glue gun, I attached my objects to the cardboard. I bought my trees and deer at Micheals, but you could use pinecones, old jewelry or even a photograph.
A sliver of the cardboard base will be poking out from the rim a bit – to cover this up, I painted it with white glue and dusted it with white glitter.








Oh my goodness! This is simply stunning! And it seems quite easy to make. The snow globes look amazing with the candles on top! Just lovely!
Thanks Bella! They are SO easy to make – I was thinking they would make a nice teacher gift! Thanks for commenting, C

Thanks Dawn! These are fun to make. Take Care, C
What a clever idea! And so pretty!
Camilla,
Love the snow globe variation, especially with the candles.
You are right! Good gift idea for friends and neighbors.
Thanks,
AJ
Neat idea! And you can almost always find wine glasses and other stemmed glasses at thrift stores for less than a buck each!! (And for that matter, I don`t need to donate all of my packed-away never used glasses to them, now, either!)
About My God as it amazingly looks! Your comments on jewels. It really glamour! It will be a royal decor!
they are lovely and I am going to try then for next year.
Super idea! So lovely. I must try.. Poor glass =(
Many thanks for the excellent and very romantic share yours
