Snow Scene Decoration


Silver Post Medal for All Time! 277 Posts

I saw a snow scene decoration similar to this in one of my December magazines and decided to replicate it since I already had most of the items on hand. Most of the supplies can be purchased at the dollar store, so it is economical to make. This would also make a nice gift for that hard-to-buy-for person on your list! Completed scene in glass stemmed globe.

 

Approximate Time: about 30 minutes

Supplies:

  • glass globe
  • glass taper holder
  • artificial snow
  • artificial pine branch
  • 2 small artificial birds
  • small bird nest
  • a few red berries
  • hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • E6000, Loctite or clear Gorilla Glue

Instructions:

  1. Use some glue made for glass, such as E6000, Loctite, or clear Gorilla Glue to adhere the glass globe to the taper holder and set aside to dry.
  2. Next pour about 1/2 cup of artificial snow into the bottom of the bowl.
  3. Artificial snow in globe.
     

  4. Add a small artificial pine branch.
  5. Adding artificial greenery.
     

  6. I could not find a bird nest small enough for my needs, so I created one by shaping and molding some dried weeds I found outdoors. I put some hot glue on it to help hold it together.
  7. Bird on homemade nest.

  8. Glue a bird to the edge of the nest and glue some berries inside the nest, to represent bird eggs.
  9. First bird added.
     

  10. Place the nest on top of the pine branch inside the bowl and glue a bird on one of the branches next to the nest (as shown in the photo).
  11. Looking down into the bowl at the finished scene.
     

Use as a winter decoration or give as a gift.

This is very beautiful. I would use Epsom salts for the snow, because Epsom salts look so much like snow it is unbelievable! This is such a beautiful craft, I am going to make one!
