Mason jars - we used various sizes for height
Hot glue gun
Snow - I like the glittery snow, usually a few bucks a bag at Michael's.
Holiday objects - trees, animals, Santa, pine cones (we glued pine cones together), garland trim....
Brown painters paper - this is my all time favorite thing to have around the house. For $10 at Home Depot and a roll lasts forever. Easy clean up for projects, gift wrap, rustic table runner....just like the mason jars, endless possibilities..
How to:
Heat up your glue, glue the figures to the inside of the lid, and fill with snow. That's it!
We found the trees from the mission building section at our craft store for only a dollar each and used garland trim to decorate them.
cute huh?
I think that they turned out great, and the kids love gazing into them. We did manage to get glitter everywhere in the process, but that was part of the fun right?
Hope you all had a great holiday weekend!

Do they have water in them? They are so cute. I want to make some!
No water! Super simple, and they make a beautiful center piece. You should totally do it!
LOVE these! Totally going to do this with the kiddles! Great idea!
:) Great minds.... Love your pics, and your kids seems to LOVE them. Isn't it a great project for kids??
I saw these at Anthro last week and then saw them here. Great idea! I went to the thrift store today and lucked out! I found two vintage mason jars and get this, a bag of mini Christmas trees like what you have pictured here! It was meant to be! I can't wait to do this with my daughter!
