Step by Step

Students can make their own snow globes during the holiday season. By making it themselves, people are not purchasing mass-produced items. (Grace Brill)

Homemade Snowglobe

1. Find a small mason jar and fill it almost all the way with water.

2. Add glitter or small confetti pieces to the water as the “snow.”

3. Hot glue a mini figurine, such as a snowman, to the inside of the lid.

4. Secure the lid tightly to the mason jar and hot glue for extra protection.
