Every year I like to make an ornament with the kids and the snow globe ornament I made this year is the easiest yet!
This ornament is so fun to make and you can do a ton of different styles and colors so that your tree isn’t too mismatched!
I got the idea from one of my friends.
On her wedding day, her mom handed her a big box full of Christmas ornaments to hang on the tree in her marital home.
In the box there was one ornament from each year of her life. I just love that tradition.

What You’ll Need for the Snow Globe Ornament
You can really use whatever you have on hand to make this fun snow globe ornament – foam sheets, glitter and sequins are all great!
Here’s what I used:
- Green Foam sheets (I bought these Christmas tree foam sheets so we could do more crafts throughout the season)
- Glitter glue or other decorations
- One large clear plastic ornament
- Sequins or crafters faux snow for the snow
- Hot glue gun
- Ornament marker or sharpie
Directions For Making A DIY Snow Globe
Either using a cookie cutter or freehand, draw the shape of a Christmas tree on the foam and cut it out.
Of course, you can cut out any shape you want – other great ideas include a snowman or a reindeer.
Decorate the foam cut-out as desired, using glitter glue or jewels and sequins
Balance the ball on a glass and put a thin line of hot glue on the bottom of the tree, fold it and carefully slide it into the clear plastic ornament.
If it’s too tricky, you can add the glue at the top of the ornament and have it “floating”.
Add glitter or sequins to the bottom of the ornament using your fingers or a funnel.
Close the ornament and write the year or child’s name with the ornament marker.
