Day 35: Christmas Vacation Snow Globe

December 12, 2013 | Posted by Chelsey

Day 35 of my 50 DIY Days of Christmas: Christmas Vacation Snow Globe! One of my all time fave Christmas movies (right next to Elf). This little globe is a dry snow globe, MUCH easier this way. I really love how it turned out. Definitely a Christmas decor keeper!

Supplies:

– wide mouth jar

– faux snow

– matchbox wagon car

– mini faux tree

– permanent dot adhesive

– gold thread

– optional: truck photo

Directions:

– flatten one side of your tree (so it’s easier to attach to the top of the car)

– Put some adhesive dots on the top of the car and gently squish the tree onto the dots to attach.

– use the gold thread to “tie” on the tree.

– put multiple adhesive dots on the bottom of the car. Attach the car to one side of the jar.

– Put a small amount of snow in the jar (don’t bury the car).

– Optional: print and cut out the “truck circle” and place it on the inside of the jar… sorta like the semi in the movie.

– This snow globe would be a perfect gift, but maybe you want to keep it for yourself? Hee.

Have a great Thursday!

Day 31: Photo Magnet Gift Tags

December 6, 2013 | Posted by Chelsey

Day 31 of my 50 DIY Days of Christmas: Photo Magnet Gift Tags! Instead of the typical gift tag, add an extra goody to your gifts. These Photo Magnets are perfect for gifts from the kiddo. Instead of putting “From, Ruari” I attached this photo magnet from Pinhole Press. Her Gabba (Grandma) will know exactly who this gift is from and she gets a sweet magnet to put on her fridge.

Supplies:

– Adorable Photo Magnets from Pinhole Press

– Removable adhesive (I used these from Scotch, found at Target)

Directions:

– Wrap your present.

– Use some removable adhesive to attach the photo magnets.

– Gift to your favorite person!
