I love snow globes but with kids, well they are not the best things to play with so I figured I would attempt to make a couple Christmas snow globes without the water and I little bit stronger glass. I turned to the mason jar.... I am country through and through and I love anything to do with a mason jar. My soap dispenser is even a mason jar! So here is what I bought....
I have different mason jar sizes laying around but if you need some, just go to wal-mart. You have to buy a case but you could use them all for gifts.
You need:
Mason jars
Hot glue gun
fake snow
ribbon of choice
and trees ( I bought a 12 pack from K-mart
that has all different sizes, these are for the Christmas village set.)
I spent $3 on the snow, $1 on the ribbon, and $6 on the tree. Not sure how much the mason jars are.
Ready to go....
First you need to secure the lid to the middle piece of the lid, for this I just ran hot glue around the top of the jar. I tried to do it around the inside but it does not work very well for some reason.

Let the glue dry. While you wait add some fake snow to the inside of the mason jar. Do not add to much though, you want to be able to see the tree ;-)

| To much of a good thing is not always a good thing! |
Flip your lid over and hot glue the bottom of the tree to the center of the lid.

Wow... your almost done and this has took no time what so every! When the tree has dried turn it over and screw the lid on to the mason jar. YOU HAVE A SNOW GLOBE!
I decorated mine with adding some ribbon with a bow to the lid. This way you can still unscrew the lid if needed or you can add some extra hot glue and secure it.
