To make a beautiful snow globe, first, use the glue gun to glue the ornament(s) to the inside of the Mason Jar’s lid. Then, pour clear glue and glitter in the jar up to just before where the jar starts to curve towards the opening. Next, pour warm water in the jar to melt the glue. Finally, secure the lid on the jar and enjoy your homemade gift!
The first step to making a wood slice ornament is to put mod podge on the wood slice. Place the picture on the wet mod podge and add another layer of mod podge on top of the picture. When dry, add an additional layer of mod podge. When you’ve finished all that, add the ribbon/yarn through the hole on the wood slice.
First, cut out book pages from a book. Then, fold the pages into cones and tape them to the card board, making a circle with their tips meeting at the center. Next, add a layer of paper circles on top of the first layer, tips also pointed inward. Last, add ornaments in the center of the wreath, using hot glue to secure them.
