Vintage Jar Snow Globe...

I wasn't the first and I won't be the last... but here it is with my twist to keep your jar from rolling away! ;)

Gather your supplies... I used fake snow fluff... if you like you could use epsom salts as the snow if you have those on hand!... or even large sea salt!... I also picked up a vintage styled dinky car, a fake little christmas village tree, bakers twine and a vintage glass top jar...





Cut two piece of twine about 5" long...





Pluck the base off of the tree... the scale is out to whack!





...it comes right off!





Place the tree is the back of the pickup...





...then feed the bakers twine through the window... if there are full windows in your dinky you can either pop them out or drill through them with a small drill bit - then thread your twine on a needle and pass it through the windows.





Tie a teeny tiny bow to hold the top of the tree to the roof of the pickup...





...trim the bow ends...





And then tie the "stump" of the tree to the back of the truck... luckily I could attach the string to the bumper on this little truck... if you are using a small car you could do one string around the whole dinky and middle of the tree... even looping it a couple of times... trust me, it'll look adorable! :)





Here is our bitty truck with its Christmas Tree secured.





Now you know those little rubber bumpers? you need just one!





Place it on the side of the jar and then place the jar back down... the bumper will stop the jar from rolling around!... if you want to be doubly sure you could add a second bumper to the other side...





Place your "snow" into the jar and then toss in the truck... it may take some fussing of the snow to get it just right... I also used a pipe cleaner to get any stray snow down from the walls of the jar if it was blocking the view of the truck and tree :)





Put the lid on the jar and tie a twine or ribbon bow around the lid!... this would be the perfect spot to attach a gift tag!... and if you stay tuned to my blog I have some adorable gift tags that I'll be sharing in the coming days that you can download and use for your handmade gifts this Christmas!...





TADA! here she is!... Stay tuned to the blog for more shots of this little vintage jar snow globe amongst my Christmas decor in the coming weeks!...
