DIY snow globes are popular around the holidays, but why not craft up a similar project for spring? These little globes can be filled with colorful confetti and small toys. Not only are they super easy to make and fun for kids to play with, but they would look so cute sitting on a shelf to add some spring decor! Most of the items required to make this little craft can be found at the dollar store, making this not only fun but frugal too!
Materials Needed:
- Small toys (animals, cars, figurines)
- Acrylic paint
- Baby food jars
- Hot glue gun
- Construction paper
Step One: Paint baby food jar lids and toys with acrylic paint. You may need to do a few coats of paint to make sure they are fully covered.
Step Two: Cut up some construction paper into small pieces of confetti. You also could use a small hole-punch to make confetti or even use store-bought confetti.
Step Three: Using a hot glue gun, attach the toy to the inside of the lid.
Step Four: Fill the jar with some confetti and then screw on the lid. If you want the lid to be permanently attached, just add some hot glue to the inside rim before screwing it on. Turn it over and enjoy!
