Materials

  • 1 clear glass salt shaker (about 4 inches tall)
  • Coarse sea salt or white glitter (2-3 tablespoons)
  • Miniature trees, figurines, and a small house (scale 1:87 or smaller)
  • Tweezers and craft glue
  • Optional: Optional:

Instructions

  • Remove the lid and fill the bottom of the shaker with coarse salt or white glitter. This creates a soft, snowy ground that looks magical through the glass.
  • Using tweezers, carefully position your mini house, trees, and any small figures. Start with the largest piece (like the cabin) and work outward.
  • Add a dab of glue at the base of each item to keep them secure. Then allow the glue to dry before adding more salt if needed to bury the bases slightly for a natural snowy effect.
  • Replace the lid gently once everything is set. If you’re adding a light, tuck the tiny LED under the lid or around the base for a warm glow.
  • Display your winter wonderland on a mantel or use it as a charming handmade gift. You can even tie a ribbon around the top for a festive touch.
