Kelly–it’s so easy! You can do it and best of all you can have your kids watch and they will be amazed they made their own snow globe!

Hi, I’m really into making souvenir’s for a camp where I can sell them – the money will go for sick children. However I wanted to ask – where do I get a snow globe like that??? Because I can’t find them in the stores like Pepco or whatever. I would be grateful for a quick anser. Thank You for the marvelous idea!!
XOXO
Katie says
I found them at Michael’s during the Christmas holiday. But you might be able to find them now, too! Good luck!
Sheila Rothert says
I just ordered a case of plastic snow globes from dollar tree! very nice and big. If you have it sent to the store free shipping.
Katie says
Great to know Sheila!
Denise says
You can order them on line from Dollar Tree for $1.00 each, they are plastic and worked well for us. They were shipped free to our local Dollar Tree store. Had them within a week too!
Melanie says
I can see this being a fun yearly activity!
Katie says
Agree–think of all the holidays you can make them for!

Lynda
Katie says
Thanks Lynda! I love making snow globes!
Britni says
I really need to make one of these in a plastic container so my 8-month old can shake it to his heart’s content. Love this tutorial!
Katie says
Go stock up on them now at Michaels. I find they are a little more difficult to come by after the holidays!
Patti J McCann says
You can get them at the dollar tree and if they dont have them you can order a case of them to be delivered to your local dollar tree for no shipping.
Dinah says
Adorable! Pinning!!
Katie says
Thanks Dinah!

Thanks Angie!
Erin @ DIY on the Cheap says
Super cute! I may have to make one of these! Thanks for the inspiration.
Damien says
I want to start making these for my niece and as gifts for family members but i cannot seem to find the basic snow globes anywhere. any suggestions? i have been practicing making them with stemware but those are mostly the dry ones with soap shavings and glitter.
Katie says
Hi Damien, I have only found them during the holidays at the craft stores. I can’t even find them online. The good thing is that most craft stores will start to put out Christmas displays in July!
Emily says
Did you use fine glitter or the more chunkier glitter? I’m having trouble getting my glitter to float back down to the bottom.
Katie says
Hi Emily! I used a fine glitter. Maybe add a little more glycerine to your globe?
Mallory says
I bought a plastic mason jar from the craft store. Do you think that will work?
Katie says
Hi Mallory–I think it would. Just make sure it is sealed nice and tight!
Sherry says
Any ideas how to fix old snow globes that have lost their water? I have been collecting snow globes for over 35 yrs. A lot of them have lost water over time or became moldy inside. I would love to repair them so I can enjoy having them out each Christmas.
Katie says
Hi Sherry–If they are true snow globes bought from a store I have no idea how to add water. I’m afraid to say it–it might be time to retire them and find new ones. As for the DIY version–you just open the tab on the bottom and add in more water!
Claudia says
Hi. The plastic ones have little plugs in the bottom. Holding the globe upside down, use a thin knife blade to take out the plug. Then put water in the opening. Then replace plug.
Geri Toth says
Do we need to put glycerin in the jars or just water?
Katie says
Hi Geri–both glycerin and water per the tutorial!
