Everyone loves a snow globe at Christmas, so how about making your own mini version? Our DIY mini snow globe is as cute as a button. It makes a great stocking filler or can be hung from your Holiday tree as a sweet handmade tree decoration. It’s a simple DIY project that can be made in a half hour but packs the ultimate festive punch! Begin by purchasing a set of four mini corked domes from your local craft store (shop this product below!). Download our mini Christmas tree pattern below – you can use the SVG file if you have a cutting machine or the PDF if you want to cut it by hand. Print and cut the tree on a kraft card or card stock of your choice, then assemble the mini paper tree before gluing it to the bottom of the cork lid. Pop a teaspoon of glitter into the glass dome and then glue the cork lid on top – remembering that the tree goes on the inside! To hang your mini snow globe ornament, make a loop with a length of twine by tying two ends together. Use a low-temperature glue gun to secure the twine loop to the top of the glass dome, and once it’s dry, you are ready to hang it!

I would like to make these adorable dome ornaments this year. The link to the dome is no longer available – what size is the dome? Amazon sells a number of different sizes. Many thanks!

I just changed the link to the same size on Amazon.
Hi
I downloaded the pdf file but am a little confused on tree assembly. Is there a slit in the top of the cardstock? Also any tips for hand cutting for a perfect cut?
Thank you very much
The PDF has two parts of the tree. One with a slit on the bottom and the other on the top. You can slide the two slits together for the full tree. I recommend printing the template onto the cardstock and using small, sharp detail scissors for the best results. We sell our favorite pair in our shop. https://feltpaperscissors.com/product/5-detail-scissors/

different snowflake punches which makes more interesting look.

These are adorable. Is there a pattern for the snowflakes that go around the lights on the Christmas tree. I’m in love with them. Thanks for sharing!
The snowflakes are actually a punch that I found at a craft store years ago! I agree, they are very cute 🙂
