I was at my FAVORITE store and my heart skipped a beat!
I tend to prefer simple crafts that make a big impact so this was totally meant for me!!! I grabbed some Mason Jars (they are 50% off at Hobby Lobby this week, just saying). A couple white napkins from my kitchen and my glue gun. (Powder Artificial Snow, Epson salt or polyfill would work great, too).
With the “snow” set, I hot glued a couple dollhouse Christmas trees (they’re sold in both the dollhouse area and the Christmas area, but since Christmas is marked down right now, go for the ones in the Christmas section).
I didn’t want all three to be completely the same, so I took a garland that I had laying around and cut off one portion, cut a slit in one of the napkins and glued that faux tree into the napkin and held for 10 seconds until it was secure. I had a couple of bitty pine cones laying around so I placed that in one of the globes also.
Truly, it’s more about the effect than the details. And it’s totally Anthropologie so you can’t go wrong!!!
Different tree sizes and styles. I really wanted a porcelain tree, too. Still looking for that!!!
I took the trees out in their lids and gave them a spray of artificial snow. It’s a little messy so I threw on my jacket and sprayed them outside.
With the snow still wet, I sprinkled a bit of sugar (you can use artificial snow, just whatever you have on hand). I love a little shimmer, shine and sparkle! When you put the lid back on just leave the lid with trees on the kitchen counter and cover with the jar. Then screw the jar into place by pressing firmly down on the jar while it is on a hard surface.
For now these are in front of the Christmas tree, but I’m thinking mantle before long. We have the Christmas music going and are munching on my Simple and Tasty {Two Ingredient} Peppermint Bark as we deck the halls!
The look and price make me SMILE!
Two-ish Dollars a piece beats Twenty-Five-ish Dollars a piece, right!!!
And isn’t this SUPER CUTE!

Glad to find you on the tt&j linky party 
Nice! Like this project, and it doesn’t look difficult, just sweet!
So pretty.. and easy too!:) Cant believe they can charge that much! (Cant believe people would pay that much either)
These are awesome! I want to make some now, too.
such a great idea!
too cute.
I promised myself I would make them this year too. They might be simple but they are just so beautifully stylish. Love them!
What a Great Idea, I love Anthropologie and your “knockoff” is worthy of being in the store!
I think I might try this using some mini fish bowls. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

Cute and so simple! Thanks for following my blog! I will be visiting again soon! Have a great weekend!
These are so so cute! Just found your blog today! So excited to see your mix of scripture and DIY…ah especially anything anthro!!
These are adorable! So cute and easy to make!
Thank you for sharing your idea at Potpourri Friday!

Thanks for linking up! Your snow globes are fantastic, love ‘em! ~Jen
Oh my goodness! I am so making these. I have a box of these jars just waiting for some action! Thank you thank you for sharing
Really cute. Love your version.
Love how these snow globes turned out! Great how-to showing the process. Fun stopping by to visit with you!
Kindly, Lorraine
Love them!
They turned out great!
These were totally on my to-do list this year. They really are sweet and simple!
So perfect!
I’d love it if you could share this over on my Simply Christmas Inspiration Party at http://shabbyartboutique.blogspot.com/2011/11/inspiration-friday.html
I love them too! Another party request! My readers would love to meet you. Meet Me Monday starts at 8pm! I would love to see you there! Love, Me http://www.youaretalkingtoomuch.com
Thank you so much for sharing with us how to make these adorable snow globes. I think I will do a snowflake/snow fall theme this year for Christmas so these would be just perfect. I saw your post over at “Tater Tots and Jello”.
I really do like these. They are so simplistically beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing, I do have a few trees left over, and I have plenty of mason jars I didn’t use during canning season. I would never have thought that a white napkin could look so much like snow. Thanks for sharing over at Sunday’s Best. I always like seeing what you have been up to.
How sweet are these? Too cute and soo simple! New follower.

I was just in Anthro today and could not believe the price of these…so glad you made your own, because I knew they couldn’t be that difficult to copy!! Well done
You did a wonderful job, I like them.
Very cute idea, I especially like that you have three of them. It really makes a nice centerpiece.
Thanks for sharing…Kathi
I saw these in a magazine recently and have been thinking about trying to replicate them! Yours look AMAZING!! I can’t wait to try this.
Thanks for your sweet note Katheryn! I think there much be a ton of different ways you could do this and get the same result. They make me smile!! I love the vintagish look!!!
Those are too cute! Great job!
Thanks Michelle!!!
These are really simple and very cute! Great job. I hope you’ll visit The Corson Cottage and share them at our {Home for the Holidays} link party every Friday in December:) Carrie

Sherry
ha! just eyed these babies at anthro over the weekend….wish i was near a hobby lobby!!
GREAT IDEA….
super cute! i love that those are wintertime, not just something that screams christmas. since we are a household that celebrates both xmas and chanukah, i love stuff that does double nondenominational duty!
Just like the other project, adorable! Thank you for taking the time to post! I added your button to my blog.
SO CUTE! I love clever thrifty ideas like this! Thanks for sharing!
LOVE IT! Pinned this! I can’t wait to make my own!! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks Rose and Heather
OH Wow! I love these. Cute project.

Love homemade snowglobes. I can’t believe they sell homemade looking ones for so much. Good job! I made snowglobes this weekend using the cutest little jam jars, polyfil, and toys and christmas erasers..these were for children. Now it’s time for a few “grown-up” ones like yours
Fun!
: )
Julie M.
Beautiful. Such a clever knock off. Yes, this is a must try. Absolutely.

these are really, really adorable. You are clever and I love those little trees in the mason jars.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am off to the Dollar Tree as soon as they open so I can make some of these for our junior high Christmas party sunday night and some for our boys for Christmas. I am also going to “frost” one of the jars to see who it looks (I have TONS of mason jars and other jars I’ve collected over the years!)

So flipping cute! This was a hot one too this season. I think between PB and anthro they need to step aside and let the pro’s take over LOL. Thanks again for joining in.
I so have to try that- fab- thanks for sharing!
Karen
These look so great! I love how easy they were to make. Thanks so much for linking up with Creative Me Monday!
I featured your great project at Mod Mix Monday today!
Very pretty.
OMGosh…you young gals make me smile ;->
I was making these in school back in the 60′s and 70′s…Anthro’s are knockoff’s themselves.
I guess it’s true…”what goes around..comes around”
You have a lovely blog…keep up the wonderful creativity!

I made some of these last week when I saw your post! My family was so impressed when I placed them on the mantel! So easy! Thank you for your wonderful idea!
Aimee- love these. Had some like this left from last year that I had started and never finished. Now so inspired. Thanks!
LOVE them
I need to make some of these for sure!
I love Anthropologie, and yours look great! So, so cute. I am linking from Debbiedoos.
These are really cute and have inspired me to try making some!
How did I miss this? I just saw it featured at The Gunny Sack. Your snowglobes are adorable! I think I might just have to add it to my project list. Thanks for sharing Aimee!
You are just too awesome! Thanks for sharing at Taking A Timeout Thursday.
These looks so great. I tried to find some little trees and my store (Michaels!) was all sold out in the Christmas section. I didn’t think to look in the doll section or the dollar store. Great tip to go along with a great tutorial.
These are adorable. I love simple things too. Anyway, being a thrift-store shopper, I have many little trees I’ve picked up (love to decorate w/mini themed Christmas trees all over the house) and they’ll be perfect. I think I actually have everything on hand and won’t even need to leave the house. (Very important since it is really cold out today). Love your stuff!!!
never thought a clear mason jar could be so cute!!!
Sylvia
Hello Aimee, I am also linking with Feathered Nest Friday and I saw your thumbnail of these adorable snow globes! I love the Anthropologie ones but they were just a bit too much. Your’s look just like them! Thanks so much for the post, I am going to make a couple too!!
