Let's dive into the crafty world of winter together and create something magical!
Step-by-step instructions for decorative snow globes
Preparation of the wooden rings

Firstly, you need to create the base for your snow globes. Glue two wooden rings on top of each other with handicraft glue. The wooden ring will serve as a stable base for your acrylic ball. Give the glue enough time to dry so that the construction is stable and doesn't wobble.

Designing the acrylic balls

Once the wooden rings have dried, it's time to create the magical snowy landscape. Take the acrylic ball halves and glue your snowmen or Father Christmases to them. Use hot glue to ensure that the figures hold well. Make sure that the loops are facing downwards so that your figures stand up nicely in the ball.

Filling with decorative snow

Once the figures are securely in place, sprinkle some decorative snow into the acrylic balls. The snow gives the bauble that authentic winter charm and creates a fairytale atmosphere. Then close the acrylic balls carefully so that the snow remains safely inside.

Placement of the baubles

Now is the time to place the finished acrylic balls on the prepared wooden rings. The sturdy wooden rings prevent the baubles from tipping over and round off the design.

Finishing touches with Christmas decorations

For the finishing touch, you can decorate the baubles with Christmas decorations. Place small fir trees, lanterns, mini reindeer or a sleigh around the baubles. If necessary, sprinkle some decorative snow to bring everything together harmoniously and emphasise the wintry atmosphere.

With every step you take, you are one step closer to your little work of art! Now you have beautiful, decorative snow globes that will transform your room into a winter wonderland.
