DIY Snow Globe


The Funko Bitty's make these fun.

The one pictured here is a Jack Skellington and Zero is

jumping spider habitat, I also have an Oogie Boogie one.


Now for those of you who don't have a jumping spider or

are not thinking of getting a jumping spider, that is okay.

You can turn this into Halloween or Christmas snow globes.

A couple tricks; for Halloween use some moss down

at the bottom, for Christmas use the directions listed below.

You don't have to use The Nightmare Before CHristmas

Funko Bitty's there are tons to choose from, ready? Let's go.


What you'll need is a plastic jar with a tight lid, a small

mason jar or a large mason jar pending on how big or small

you want to make it. Just make sure the lid is tight!


Hot glue gun or super glue


Distilled water


Liquid glycerin or light corn syrup


Fake snow or glitter (find at craft stores)


Small plastic trees, animals, houses, or other decorations.


Create:

Use the superglue or hot glue to affix your

trees or other decorative items to the inside of the lid. Let dry.


2. Fill a jar about 3/4 full of water

(or about 1/2 if using corn syrup).


3. Put a few pinches of glitter or fake snow in the jar.


4. Screw the lid on very tightly.


5. Turn your jar upside-down and watch the snow fall

inside your homemade DIY snow globe.


6. Now add several drops of liquid glycerin

(or an equal amount of corn syrup) making sure you leave room for air at the top. Repeat step 5.


7. Finally, if you like, you may decorate the base (lid)

of your snow globe with ribbon, fabric, or pretty paper.


***I apologize that is the best picture I

could take, there is spiderweb throughout the container.

DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts

I absolutely love these! I love decorating for Halloween, I have to say it is my favorite holiday. I don't think you can have enough decorations up! So when I found this DIY project I just had to share!   DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts     You can find styrofoam mannequin heads at wig shots. They normally can stand on their necks but for this project you need to suspend them to let the cloth flow freely. Materials: Cheesecloth Styrofoam mannequin heads Sponge brush Watered-down glue or fabric stiffener Screw eyes Monofilament Removable adhesive hooks (like command brand or painters tape).     Steps: Apply a layer of cheesecloth to the head, then generously brush over head and face with glue. Use hands to smooth the cloth into the facial features. Don't brush down the neck, stop at chin level so the fabric is loose below that. Repeat until you have 4 layers each being 7 feet long of cheesecloth...
