Imagine a snow globe turned inside out, with all the joy spilling into your home.
Inside this festive sphere, a tiny snowman rests among faux snow, watching the world through a frame of twisted hoops and sparkling accents.
Red berries, glossy ornaments, and a dangling heart bring warmth to the frosty design.
Every detail tells a little story: playful, charming, and rooted in holiday wonder.
Once hung, it feels like having your own miniature winter wonderland floating in the air.
Materials Needed
- 1 wire or wooden hoop frame (12”-14” diameter)
- 4-5 twisted craft rods or hoops to form the globe shape
- 1 small snowman figurine (4”-6” tall)
- Artificial snow or cotton batting
- Red berry picks (4-5 clusters)
- Faux pine branches (6-8 sprigs)
- 3-4 small Christmas ornaments (red or metallic)
- 1 hanging heart ornament
- Hot glue gun with glue sticks
- Craft wire and scissors
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Build your globe frame by attaching the craft rods evenly around a circular base hoop. Then secure at the top with wire to create a cage-like shape.
Step 2: Fill the bottom with faux snow or cotton batting. Place the snowman figurine in the center and glue securely so it stays upright.
Step 3: Decorate the lower base with pine sprigs and red berry clusters. Next, angle some outward to give the globe fullness and texture.
Step 4: Add small ornaments throughout the globe, gluing them onto greenery or tucking them into the snow for sparkle.
Step 5: Attach a dangling heart ornament to the top center so it hangs above the snowman. This creates a charming focal point.
Step 6: Finish by decorating the top of the globe with a small cluster of pine, berries, and glossy red baubles.
Step 7: Hang the globe using sturdy twine or wire. Once in place, fluff the greenery and adjust elements until it feels polished and festive.
Tip:
If you want to add sparkle, weave a mini LED string light through the globe frame, it will illuminate the snowman and make the whole piece glow at night.
