DIY Snow Globe Christmas ornament tutorial

Ingredients 

  • Laminating Plastic Sheets
  • Metallic Vinyl
  • Transfer Tape
  • Plastic Ornament
  • Tiny foam balls
  • Ribbon
  • Cutting Machine
  • Personalization my Let it Snow and Merry and Bright are available to my email subscribers along with my insert template
  • Snow globe ornament template

Instructions

  • You first need an insert template. I made my insert template by welding a rectangle to a circle in Cricut design space. Then I cut it out of paper and then put it inside my ornament. I adjusted it a few times until it fit how I wanted, filling as much space as possible.
  • Next cut the design you want to go on it from vinyl. I did a few Let it Snows and Merry and Bright for the gifts I gave but I also made Teddy one with the year on it and I just love how that turned out.
  • Size the message/image so that it is a little bit smaller than your insert piece.
  • Cut out of vinyl.
  • Weed out the negative space so you are left with just the vinyl design and paper backing.
  • Apply transfer take to lift the vinyl up exposing the sticky side.
  • Transfer to the insert piece making sure that the rectangle is pointing up. This is your handle so to speak.
  • Remove the transfer tape.
  • Next remove the metal part of the ornament and gently roll the insert and slide it into your plastic ornament.
  • How to get the snow into Using a funnel or piece of paper rolled into a cone pour in a few foam balls. Heads up this is the most time consuming part. Those stinkers are so staticky they are kind of a pain to get in there but trust me it's worth it.
  • Replace the metal hanger of the ornament and add a bow or tie of ribbon.
