Snow Globe DIY

I love to do different DIY's during the holiday season, I recently posted about the pinecone trees that I made and the wreath that we made which is one of my favorite traditions. Today I am back with another DIY, this is a waterless or nonliquid snowglobe which makes it a quick and easy DIY.

For this you will need:

• Hot glue gun
• a small figurine
• a jar big enough for the figure to fit in
• fake snow
• Ribbon or string (optional)

The tricky part about this was making sure that the figure we picked out, fit in the jar that we bought. Once you find the right size you hot glue the figure to the bottom and then fill it with snow seal the lid and it becomes the most beautiful snow globe! 

The string/ribbon can be wrapped around the top especially if it is a gift for someone or to add another touch to the top.

 

DIY Pinecone tree

I saw this DIY on pintrest and fell in love with it. It was actually pretty simple to do and looks so adorable on my TV stand. The only down fall that I found was that the pinecones I found outside were to small for the pots that I had gotten so I had to use fake ones, but other than that it was pretty simple. 

First I painted the pinecones evergreen, I made sure to get inbetween all of the little peices and all of the sides. While that dries I painted the pot sliver, which was just a brown planting pot. This took a couple coats of paint. Then I painted the little star silver for the top of the tree. 

To stick it all together I tried to hot glue the pine cone to the pot but it didn't stick very well so I just placed it in there becuase I figured it would be easier to store after Christmas. Next I hot glued the silver star to the top and it was complete! It is such a fun and easy DIY and so inexpensive.
