    Learn how to make a DIY Christmas Snow Globe Ornament in this easy step-by-step craft tutorial. All supplies come from the Dollar Tree!

    Nothing says Christmas quite like a snow globe! They are iconic staples of holiday decor and are often featured in Christmas movies as well.

    We are going to take the same concept of a snow globe, and apply it to ornaments!

    Today, we are going to make a DIY Christmas snow globe ornament, using a clear plastic Christmas ball ornament, faux snow, mini pine trees, and sequins. We used a similar process for our DIY ocean ornament, as well as a faux flower ball ornament.

    All of our supplies came from the Dollar Tree, but you can find similar supplies at most craft stores.

    Let's get to it!

    How to Make a Christmas Snow Globe Ornament

    Step 1: Gather Supplies

    Supplies Needed:

    • Clear Plastic Ball Ornament - (our is from Dollar Tree, but you can get them on Amazon too.)

    Step 2: Remove the metal ornament top.

    Set it aside.

    take the metal top off the plastic ball ornament

    Step 3: Add mini Christmas trees, top first, into the ball ornament.

    I chose to add two little Christmas trees, but you can add as many as you want.

    Step 4: Add sequins to the snow globe ornament.

    If any of the sequins, glitter or other embellishments are tiny, you can use a funnel to help get them into the globe easier.

    add glitter, sparkles, or any other beads or embellishments into the ornament, using a funnel if needed

    Step 5: Add faux snow to your snow globe ornament, using a funnel.

    I put the metal cap back onto the ornament to see what the finished product would look like.

    Step 6: Hot glue the metal top to the clear ornament.

    Take the metal top back off.

    Put hot glue around the neck of the ball ornament, where the metal top will attach.

    Put the metal top back on, holding it in place while the glue dries.

    add the top back onto the ornament so it will be glued in place

    Step 7: Add twine to the top of the ornament as a hanging string.
