Mason Jar Snow Globe DIY

I was shopping in Anthropologie last week and I saw this salt shaker with a little Christmas tree in it and some snow. Then I saw mason jars with the same. I had a bunch of jars at home and I knew I had to make these.
What you'll need:

  1. mason jars and other jars of various sizes such as salt shakers, spice jars, jam jars, pickle jars
  2. Christmas trees. I got a pack of 21 at Michael's for sale 50% off
  3. other holiday items you may want to glue
  4. mini ball ornaments
  5. glue gun
  6. Epsom salts                           
I took various trees and glued them to the lids of the jars. I added a little Epsom salt to desired amount into the jar. Close the lid and turn upside down. That's it!

A different jar, I took little trees and glued the ornaments onto the bottom of the trees and then put them in the jar upside down, added salt, closed the jar and those just float freely.

Such a simple project and so impressive! I love upcycling items I already have laying around.
