Christmas Crafts! - SnowGlobes:)


Hey all you Hep Cats and Cool Chicks!!

haha... Crybaby. Movie with Johnny Depp.. Educate yourself


Anyway it's been a while since I updated this little pinterest blog, but i've been doing crafts and just not updating! Soo i'll start with my Christmas stuff that I did!





I found this cute little idea for Mason Jar Snow Globes,

I can't find the link, but ehh, it will be fine.
ADDENDUM: found it! http://doityourselfcollections.blogspot.com/2013/07/discover-this-genius-idea-makeup-magnet.html?m=1


So i went to the all fabulous HOBS LOBS and went a shopping with Ms. Chanandaler Bong (MCB) who..

*MCB HERE. I WORK AT HOBS LOBS NOW *ahem* Thank you. 

anyway.. she does.


So we looked for mason jars, and ornaments in the Christmas aisle...
So here's what we got:
 
Three kinds of ornaments: I didn't use one...
2 different sized mason jars
Glitter
Super Glue
Water.




I glued the 2 penguins to one lid and Let me STRESS THIS. Before you glue make sure the item will fit into the jar!!! Doooo it!

Ok so I also glued little ornaments in a pile in front of the penguins but they didn't stick. They did however look cool floating when I shook the globe! 


Here's the snowman! He was a tight squeeze, but he fit

MCB: that sounds...

Yes yes. Moving on


I then filled the jar with water and placed the little guys inside. Make sure it's filled up. Then I put a heaping amount  of glitter inside. Go with what you feel on amount. 

And here they are!!! 
I love them!

Tips for success:

Be careful with super glue. Literally on my hands with glitter for days... FAH DAYZZZZ
 
Seal the ornaments with some clear nail polish before using them. I did that after everything but it would be good to start that

Make sure you buy heavy glitter. Something that will sink but not float to the top.

Fill up the jar completely with water, I had a little space at the top but it looked ok. 


Radical Factor: Total win.

Just think they are cute! 


Hope everyone had a happy holiday!
