Handmade Snow Globe Mason Jars DIY
December 20, 2019
Hello and Welcome Sweet Friends!
In this Christmas crafting post you will find colorful photos and easy instructions on how to make a sweet home-style snow-globe mason jar and as a added bonus a homemade peanut cluster recipe too! I want you to have this information for this weekend, just
in case you were need of one last hand-made gift. I recently made these nifty
DIY Snow-globe mason jars for our Bunco group, neighbors, friends and naturally
my hairstylist.
Jars are one of the many materials that I enjoy working with. That dear Mother of mine canned every Fall and I have the best memories of colorful fruits and vegetables filling those jars. I haven't canned much myself but, I am always on the look out for ways to make creative use out of jars. Are you looking for more jar inspiration just click on Bonjour DIY Jar Vases and Distressed Modge Podge Fabric Jar!
Truly, these Snow-globe mason jars are pretty cute and once
you make one, you will want to make more.
They are decorative, useful, reusable, handy and perfectly handmade. Holidays and Handmade sort of go together. Oh and I am not stopping with Christmas, I'll be sharing some creative Valentine Jars too and Valentine's Day is just around the corner.
I filled my Mason jars with mints and chocolate kisses;
however, the sky is limit, think about what treats you’d like to receive. How
about candy canes, cookies, hot chocolate mix, or a brownie mix, let your
imagination be your guide.
Snow-globe mason jars are a sweet gift for hostess, mailmen, Sunday School teachers, School Teachers, neighbors, friends, coaches, the list is
really endless.
Each snow-globe mason jar is easily customized by YOU! These
home-style crafted jars are perfect to create as a family. Gather that sweet family around you, chat, laugh
and create. Just be sure that an adult
is in charge of the glue gun and that you have plenty of Cookies and Milk to nibble on along the way.
(Crafting Tip)
Before you purchase any items take inventory of what you
already have in your pantry, cupboards and craft stash. I know I am always pleasantly surprised at
what I have saved throughout the years. Also please remember that this is
your craft so customize it to your liking.
All of my tutorials are simply a pattern for you to work off, let your creativity shine! 😊

Hi Jemma, Couldn't open the video but boy, these are cute and I'm going to remember this one for next year. This late TG really threw me off my game!
ReplyDeleteI realized I didn't have your current address to send a Christmas card this year but shoot it to me when you have a chance. I'm so glad you are blogging again. Meanwhile, I hope you and your family have an absolutely splendid Christmas in your new home and I look forward to so much more in the new year!
Oh Jemma, this is the most creative idea ever. These jars are so cute. I will have to pass your post along to the girls, as they love mason jars and putting their own goodies in them. I love hearing about your mother and all the wonderful things she used to do for her family. I especially like the snow globes, as I collect them. And the gold ribbon you added is a nice touch. I think putting tea bags or hot chocolate in there is also a fun idea. And who doesn't love chocolate Kisses? The red crinkle paper made me smile, as Jess added this to all her Christmas gifts this year. This is really a great idea, and thanks for sharing. Your creative hands always make the most beautiful things for your loved ones.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a Merry Christmas, and thank you for your friendship all these years. : )
