Anthro hack: Mason jar snow globes
Here's a short and sweet project for naptime today.
Collect a few mason jars from your cabinet and some tiny trees and white glitter from the craft store.
Arrange the trees on the lids and glue down.
Fill jars with water and snow.
Screw the lids on tightly and enjoy the snowy goodness.
Be proud you didn't just spend $93 at Anthro on something you just made in 15 minutes and for less than 10 bucks.

LOVE this idea!!!!! I can't believe Anthro is charging so much for that! haha
ReplyDeleteI will be making this for my son later, thanks for the inspiration!
Oh my goodness!! I can not believe someone would pay for those when you can make them yourself. $38 each??? I should get in on that racket.
ReplyDeletelol whyyyy would someone pay that?!?!
ReplyDeleteI love this! So clever and simple!
ReplyDeleteIs that a Martha Stewart jar in one of your pictures? Did you use her white glitter flakes? I have a lot of that and was going to use them in my jars. Just trying to find some glycerin for the water that isn't super expensive.

ReplyDeletemy sister just took a picture of the very same thing last week. she was appalled at the price and said we needed to make our own. great minds think alike! i thought epson salt might also look nice.
ReplyDeleteOoo! I can't wait to make these!
ReplyDeleteYour amazing! These are so great. Seriously you NEED your own tv show!
ReplyDeleteI am wondering who would purchase those when yours look so identical! Bet you have got everyone wanting to make their own Anthropologie snow globes. Jackie
ReplyDeleteI love this! My kids are obsessed with snow globes. How much fun to make them ourselves. So, the glitter actually works in the water? would love to add little snowmen as well. I think i have to head to Michael's.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool! Love the vintage feel and that they look quick and easy. Pinning right now!@
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I just may have to do this... :)
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with this project! I never knew it would be that simple! This is a must-do with my children this Christmas!

This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try some out!
Thanks for posting! :-D
Make sure you only use glass or plastic beads. The water will turn color and the paper beads will disintegrate.
