Mommy Needs Friends: Tis the season for crafts and spiked eggnog.

SNOW GLOBES...OR GLITTER GLOBES? Whatever, they're rad.

So, I dropped my son off at school this morning and thought it would be fun (and budget friendly) to stop in at my local Dollar Tree and see if I could find some items that could wake my inner Martha!
Not only did it happen- but it was glorious, AND it was only $7.00...seriously. Sometimes I feel like I am robbing that place and should offer to organize shelves or something?!

Lets get to the good stuff, here is what you need!

(Cute toddler hand- optional)

1. Fun little Christmas Village items/people (I bought 4 packs and there were more than enough for 3 globes!)

2. Mason/Canning jars

3. Glue gun

4. Loose glitter in whatever color floats your boat, or your kids.

5. Glycerin (totally optional and I did not have it on hand so...that didn't happen)
Side Note: I read that you can purchase it at almost any craft store or even CVS and supposedly it helps the glitter fall a little slower after shaking and gives a more "beautiful effect", but I don't personally think its a must have! Plus our globes look freakin' beautiful just the way they are okay? Okay.

Instructions:

Glue your little Christmas friends on to inside of lid with hot glue gun.
Let them dry for a few moments.
Fill mason jar with water, add as much as glitter as you'd like, a couple drops of glycerin if that makes you feel better, and then screw that lid on TIGHT and shake.Set Jar on its lid, and watch the beauty unfold in front of you, and hopefully you get as excited as ~~I did~~, Jett did.
