♥ Santa's Workshop ♥ {A Do-It-Yourself Snow Globe!}

Here is a fun project that you can do that makes a great gift or a great decoration for your home! A Snow Globe that is made out of a 8" glass Fish bowl and one of those cookie tins you can pick up at the $ store. It is alot of fun to make and you can personalize it any way you want. It can be "filled" with lots of different things. I decided to make "Santa's Workshop" in mine. (Click on photos for better views!)

I first covered the tin with some paper by The Girls' Paperie called Tinsel and Twig. I then covered the top with some Music notes paper by My Mind's Eye from the Lost and Found line and added some glue and glitter to it. I then hot glued some ribbon and trim around the edge. I then added my little house, which I painted, added ice crystals, resin frame and candy canes, snowflake and pearls trim and a K&Co. sticker, and I glued it to the top of the tin. I then added more K&Co. 3-D stickers, more glitter and some more trim.

I then adding some glue with my glue pen, to the inside of the fish bowl glass and then added more ice crystals inside, so they would adhere to the glass. Then I glued some more trim to the rim of the bowl and placed it over my scene.

The sleigh is an ornament that I picked up at Mike's. I filled it with some K&Co. 3-D stickers, added some red glitter to the flower and a red bow. To finish it off, I added a sheer green bow, greenery, candy cane, bakers twine and a Melissa Frances rub-on to the front of the tin. I did not adhere the glass to the top of the tin though. That makes it easier to fill the tin with cookies, candies or whatever little present or goodies you would like. It also makes it easier to store away.
