Supplies You’ll Need:
• Clear plastic baubles (available at most craft stores or online)
• White and blue foam beads
• Wooden snowflakes
• Acrylic charms from GoodnightFox (choose charms to match your theme)
• Printable snow globe collars from GoodnightFox
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Ribbon for wrapping
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Gather Your Supplies
Before starting, make sure you have all your supplies within easy reach. You can find the acrylic charms and printable collars at GoodnightFox, and the rest of the materials can be sourced from your local craft store.
2. Assemble the Bauble
• Begin by opening the clear plastic bauble.
• Choose an acrylic charm from GoodnightFox that fits your theme, whether it’s wintery snowmen, stars, or even a personalized letter charm.
• Using your hot glue gun, carefully attach the charm to the inside bottom of the bauble. Let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.
3. Add the Snow
• Now comes the fun part! Add white and blue foam beads to simulate snow. You can also sprinkle in wooden snowflakes for a touch of wintery magic.
• Don’t overfill the bauble – you want to leave enough space for the snow to move around when it’s shaken.
4. Attach the Printable Collar
• Once you’ve filled the bauble with beads and snowflakes, it’s time to add the finishing touch. Use the snow globe collar printables from GoodnightFox to wrap around the top of the bauble where the two halves meet.
• Secure the collar with a little hot glue for a polished look.
5. Finish with Ribbon
• Wrap a ribbon around the collar of the snow globe for a final decorative touch. Choose a color that matches your event theme—whether it’s a classic winter white, icy blue, or something more festive.
• Tie a bow and trim any excess ribbon for a neat finish.
6. Display or Gift!
• Your DIY snow globe is now ready to be displayed or handed out as a favor! These make perfect party favors for kids’ winter birthdays, holiday celebrations, or as a delightful classroom gift.
Tips for Success
• Personalize It: You can add small name tags to each snow globe, making them extra special for the recipient.
• Add Glitter: For a more magical snow globe effect, sprinkle in a little iridescent glitter along with the foam beads.
• Customize the Charm: GoodnightFox offers a variety of acrylic charms, so whether you’re making a batch for a birthday party, winter festival, or even a back-to-school event, you can find the perfect charm to match the occasion.
Why These Snow Globes Stand Out as Party and Classroom Favors
• Engaging Craft: These snow globes are more than just a gift – they are an interactive experience that children will love shaking and watching as the snow swirls.
