Waterless Snow Globe with Vintage Christmas Decorįinally, it was time to add the decorative bits to the inside of my vintage jar!įirst, I dropped some miniature Christmas presents (from my own childhood dollhouse!) inside… Then, I simply hot glued the base of the tree to the Styrofoam base. Before gluing it to the center, I set the jar over it to make sure the tip wouldn’t touch the bottom of the jar (which will actually be the top). Otherwise, parts of my DIY waterless snow globe get lost by the rim of the lid- and I want to easily see it all!Īfter that, I placed my bottlebrush Christmas tree on the foam. Why am I adding the Styrofoam and not just gluing a bottlebrush tree directly to the lid? Because I want to “raise up” my tree and decorations above the neck of the jar. When I was satisfied, I glued the foam to the inside of the lid with my hot glue gun. Then, I set the foam circle on the inside of my jar lid, making sure there was plenty of clearance for screwing back on the jar. The foam cutter makes this step an absolute cinch! I carefully shaved off about ¼” from my circle all the way around. Next, I used a foam cutter or hot pen to cut out the Styrofoam circle.

Vintage bottle brush Christmas tree andĪnd last but not least, I grabbed some other minis that would get tossed around with the artificial snow.I also gathered other craft supplies that I would need, including: It even had a red lid AND when upside-down, the ribbing looked like a Christmas tree! So, I hunted down another old glass jar to make this one for you. The waterless snow globes that I had made pre-blog used vintage glass jars and vintage Christmas decorations. And let me tell you, an obsession was born! So, I decided to make a new DIY waterless snow globe so that I could share with you how I made them. A trendy retailer had advertised their version for an uppity price, prompting me to try and recreate them myself.
