Recycled Jar Snow Globe Ornaments

I save a lot of jars, bottles, and thrift store salt shakers throughout the year just so I can make these amazingly easy and adorable Christmas snow globe ornaments.
Some are made with recycled jars my favorite being the Trader Joes Everything But a Bagel jar. Salt shakers are another favorite and I hit the mother load one day at the thrift store when I found 8 of them all the same.  When you click on the bold Amazon affiliate links you will be taken to the products I use for this project.

To make this project you will need the following supplies, click on the green link to find the supplies I recommend:

• recycled jars or salt shakers.
• epsom salt.
• ribbon.
• hot glue.
• small bottle brush trees.
• assorted tiny Christmas figures.

I began by washing out the jars and letting them dry. I put a drop of hot glue on the bottom of the bottle brush tree base then using a tweezer carefully dropped it into the bottle. At this time you can add tiny figures if you desire. For some of these ornaments I used tiny letters I found in a bag at the thrift store. I used a tiny bit of E6000 to glue them onto the jar. 



The next step is to fill the jar with epsom salt, just enough to cover the base of the tree. This is my tiniest jar, I used just the cut-off top of a bottle brush tree in the jar. 

You can truly get carried away making these, they only take minutes. If you love these and you want to see more, please visit my friend Carlene at Organized Clutter and see the salt shaker ornaments she made! 

I drilled a hole in the lids and for the salt shaker, I went in through the center hole in the top with a wire and made a loop. I tied a small bow through the loop and hung an ornament hook.

Each ornament takes about 5 minutes to make. 

They make a great gift or craft fair best seller.
