Snow Globe Shaker Ornament Tutorial

Welcome! Shellye McDaniel here today with a DIY Snow Globe Shaker Ornament. This project tutorial is great for kids and adults!

Snow Globe Shaker Instruction

I started with a clear, disposable cup with lid. I found a package of these at my local dollar store. The cup measures approximately 2 x 2 inches.

First, I attached a mini snowman figurine and two tiny bottle brush trees to the inside of the lid with Adhesive Dots 3D.

For the hanger, I used a piercing tool to create a hole in the top. With an embroidery needle, thread the Baker’s Twine through the opening and back to make a loop. Cut the end and double knot to secure.

To create a snowy background to the inside of the cup, I used 3D Foam Circles White Mix in the small size. I randomly placed them behind the snowman (using it as a guide). Sprinkle glitter and tap off excess. Done!

Finally, I added a small handful of glittery snow into the cup. To attach the cup to the lid, I ran a bead of the Dual Tip Glue Pen around the edge. Place the lid onto the cup to seal. To dress up where the cup and lid conjoin, I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen to attach the Baker’s Twine. Perfect!

For the base, I wanted to be sturdy so I used a combination of a 3-inch scalloped circle die, lightweight chipboard, paper, and a sheet of Adhesive Sheet 4x6in.
