2) Trace and cut one snow globe from blue
construction paper.
3) Draw a winter scene on the blue globe with
crayons. I drew a bare tree with snow on
the branches, a snowman beside the tree and
snowflakes but feel free to make your globe
picture original. Set aside for a moment.
4) Take the twist tie and fold it in half
forming a loop then twist the ends together.
Now, staple it to the back of the snow globe
base being sure it is near the top of the globe
with the loop at the top. Fold the ends up
over the staple so the twist tie doesn't slip
off. The twist tie is now your hanger.
5) Using a glue stick (not the hot glue) glue
the blue globe (circle) on top of the red circle
on the base.
6) Place the plate flat on your work surface
and put an 1/8 cup of glittering snowflakes in
the center.
7) Run a bead of hot glue* around the rim of
the plate, then lay the snow globe on top of the
plate so that the blue circle is in the center
of the clear plate. Press the edge of the
plate firmly against the snow globe before the
glue dries.
8) Flip your globe over and write a message
such as "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings"
on the globe base as pictured. If desired,
you can also decorate the base with stickers or
markers.
*This should be done by an adult.
Suggestion: You can adapt this snow
globe to use a larger plate such as an 8 1/2"
plate.
