There’s something magical about snow globes, the tiny scenes frozen in time, waiting for you to tip them over and let the snow swirl.

Repurposing a yogurt jar turns that everyday container into a dreamy keepsake, where miniature trees and stars live forever beneath the glass.

Materials Needed

• 4-6 yogurt jars (5 oz size works best)
• Small bottle brush trees (2-3 inches tall)
• Artificial snow or glitter
• Wood slices or jar lids for bases (approx. 3-3.5 inches in diameter)
• Hot glue gun and sticks
• Decorative ribbon (12-15 inches per jar)
• Optional: tiny figurines, stars, or mini animals

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Begin with clean, label-free yogurt jars. Then turn them upside down so the opening is at the bottom.

Step 2: Glue a miniature tree or figurine onto the center of your wood slice or lid. Make sure it’s firmly attached and allow the glue to dry.

Step 3: Sprinkle a small amount of artificial snow or glitter around the base of the tree.

Step 4: Place the yogurt jar over the tree and carefully secure it to the wood slice with hot glue, creating a sealed dome.

Step 5: Finish by tying a piece of ribbon around the base for a cozy, festive touch.

Step 6: Display your snow globes on shelves, mantels, or as table centerpieces. They’re simple, but they radiate holiday warmth.

Tips: You can add a tiny LED tealight beneath the base for a glowing nighttime effect.
