There is great happiness in not wanting, in not being something, in not going somewhere...

Crafty Christmas.....

Sometime one has to pull a rabbit out of a hat, especially when sweet little girls get a bit bored on a play date..... One such occasion happened a few days ago when one of Little Madames friends came to play and asked to do some crafts, This little angel is so sweet and absolutely loves to craft just like Little Madame. Nothing crafty was planned, and rabbits had to be pulled! BUT luckily for me, I had a few thing lying around(Yes.... just lying around... glitter is a staple in my home) So here is possibly the easiest and quickest crafty little number for you to try.  
 
It really is very simple, you need 5 things and I bet, that bar 1, you have them all lying around...
 
Glitter
Jars(like Jam jars)
Some cheap ornaments or plastic figurines
Water
Super glue(normal craft glue works just fine - but you have to wait for it to dry!)
And the last thing - and honestly you don't reallllyyyy need it -
Glycerin
 
 
The Things You Need

Have you guessed what we are making yet?


Glued
 So .....
Step 1 - Using the super glue, glue your ornament to the DRY lid of the jam jar( I did this for them... don't want little finger permanently stuck to lids)

Step 2 - Add the glitter - we used stars and white glitter

 
Glittered

Step 3 - Add the glycerin - you don't really need glycerin but it helps the glitter to sloooowly settle at the bottom. I added 3 tablespoons to the small jar and 5 to the large one!

Step 4 - Fill the jar up with water, to the rim of the jar, some water will spill out when you put the lid on...
 
Glitter and Water

Step 5 - Screw the lid on VERY tightly!
 
Lid On

 Step 6 - Turn over and shake...... And Ta Dah.... SNOW GLOBE!

So Pretty

The snow globes are a big hit! They are ridiculously easy to make and QUICK! And when added to the others we have at home, they look Fabulous! Oh and did I mention that I LOVE snow globes..... xxx
