Quick, someone knock on wood. I think everyone is finally well in our house. That seems to happen about about as often as Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving. Of course, now that everyone is feeling better a ‘wintry mix’ storm has forced us to stay home and huddle together for warmth. It’s fun to watch the snow fall, but cabin fever is setting in. We’re ready to get out and do holiday-ish things like stand in a 3-hour line to see Santa or fight over the last parking spot. Maybe some of it will stick around, and we can venture out to throw snowballs at each other.
Maybe I’ll finally get around to making snow globes out of old jars with the kids. That has been on my to do list forever – especially since I found super cute snow globe rings on Etsy. Filling them with water seemed like a mess waiting to happen so I opted for glitter. We hot glued a tiny – really, really tiny – charm to the ring base and poured glitter into the globe. To put them together you need to be quick. Apply hot glue around the base of the ring and flip the globe onto the base really fast. Voila!
It’s easier to see into the larger globe (the one with the Eiffel Tower), but the smaller size is definitely more wearable. You can’t really tell but that ring has a tiny giraffe inside. What have you crafted up this week? Here’s what happened on the blog this week in case you missed anything!

I made snow globes for my red hat group last Christmas, easy and really cute.
go to the dollar store and get some small vases. and then a candle stick holder and a glass dish or salad plate. put your design on the plate. I put Christmas trees, little Santa’s or what ever. sprinkle snow inside the vase and then glue the vase to the plate and then on the candle stick holder. Walla there is you snow globe. This is not my idea, and I can’t remember I found it but it works out so cute. Every one loved them, although they have no liquid in them it works out just great.
picture was not clear enough to make out the details, would love to make it, but cant see it and no directions came through clear enough
So there is no liquid in these globes?? Maybe I missed the directions somewhere????
I hate that too, you did not miss anything and neither did I. They just dont put all those details out there for us. I was also wondering where they get the little giraffe and Eiffel tower too.
Hi, the little giraffe came from the shop where I got the rings (she sent it as an extra) and I think the Eiffel Tower came from Hobby Lobby. They have a ton of charms!
Nope, no liquid! It’s small enough that you don’t need any.
These rings are AWESOME!!! What a unique holiday accessory idea! Love it. xoxo
These are literally the cutest rings I have ever seen! What a clever idea, and it would make such a fun gift!
This is the cutest ring. I’m going to try out one of my own.

I love the snow globe ring idea!!! Awesome!
I love them! I love all things Paris so i especially love the Tower. I found this post on Pinterest. I’m a new follower through Bloglovin & Twittter. I hope everyone feels better & that you guys had a great day.
Hi Leslie! So glad you found us :) Isn’t the little Eiffel Tower adorable? That’s a charm I got ages ago at Hobby Lobby – they make great little earrings too!
I just ordered some of these, my daughter and I will have a blast making them:)
That’s awesome – I hope you and your daughter have a great time making them together!
These are so adorable. I’m also wondering where you got the tiny globes. Also, where you got the rings with bases like that. Thanks for the idea!
Thank you so much I wondered where you got the rings from, now I know and can get busy making :)
These are lovely! We could make little angel globes that would be sweet
These are awesome!! Where did you get the tiny globes? I can’t wait to make these :)
