I thought a quick video would be a great way to show how to make this one. You can watch that video below.
Can’t watch the video or missed some of the steps? Try our step by step instructions for how to make a Christmas snow globe below.
Instructions:
- Apply snow-tex to the top of your foam disc with a palette knife. Apply a thick layer.
- Then allow to dry for at least 24 hours. Make sure it is dry before continuing.
- Cut the base from the tree with scissors.
- Add the tree and also the wood train to the snow base with a little hot glue.
- Put a little of the artificial snow inside of the mason jar.
- Add the foam disc with the tree and train attached to the mouth of the jar. NOTE: This should be a really tight fit! If it isn’t, you will need to secure around the rim with a bit of hot glue.
- Then add the lid to the jar.
- Use hot glue to secure ribbon around the mason jar lid.
- Then use additional hot glue to add pom pom trim above the ribbon. Just make sure that your foam disc is covered when looking at the snow globe.
- This project is complete and ready for your holiday decorating!
Add a Christmas snow globe to your holiday craft list. The kids will love to help with this one as well!
Y’all enjoy and get a jump start on your Christmas crafts this year!

OK Angie, where in dickens did you find that tiny train? Sure is cute. You make this looks quick and easy, would love to make a few with maybe different objects in them.
want to make nice quick easy gifts so these would qualify. Don’t have much money at all, gifts will be small token things.
When we get paid in Nov.,day before Thanksgiving, won’t get paid again til 2 days after Christmas, 5 weeks. Hence need for small gifts.Thanks so much Uncle Sam, sigh. Such fun being on SS,lol.
Happy Sunday

I ordered from ConsumerCrafts Jane but saw some on Amazon. I would be willing to bet they would be at a craft store perhaps in the miniatures section! They are really inexpensive and perfect for quick and cheap gifts!
