Roberta’s Homemade Holidays: Snowglobe Craft

 

 

Unfortunately I don’t have any glass blowing equipment in my craft room, but I do have this idea for a cute craft that creates the look of a snow globe using an acetate sheet for the glass.

What you need:

-          Light blue construction paper

-          Brown construction paper

-          White construction paper

-          Green construction paper

-          Red construction paper

-          Black construction paper

-          Crayons

-          Clear acetate sheet

-          Small plate

-          Scissors

-          Glue stick (that dries clear)

What you do:

Use your small plate to trace one circle onto the light blue paper and one circle onto the clear acetate sheet. Cut out both circles.

Use your construction paper, crayons and glue to create a winter scene on your blue circle (I made a simple snowman.) Cut out small white pieces of paper and glue them all around your scene.

From your brown paper cut out a trapezoid, a rectangle that is wider on one side. Glue the trapezoid to the bottom of your blue circle.

Spread your clear acetate circle with a thin circle of glue and stick it over top of your blue circle, making sure the edges line up.

 

Now you have a shiny snow globe to hang up on your wall!
