Anthropologie Snow Globe Knockoff

Whew! It’s only December 4th, but Christmas is definitely in full swing here At The Picket Fence! Normally we reserve our Sundays here at the fence for our Simply Sunday posts, and don’t worry we’ll still be sharing several inspirational posts during this most special of Holy Seasons! But in order to work in all that we have planned for the Christmas season we hope you’ll forgive us for featuring a project or two on Sundays!  For example, these fun and adorable snow globes!

I think we’ve all seen by now these mason jar and salt shaker snow globes from Anthropologie.  You know the ones that started at $18.00 for the salt shaker (by the way they are sold out of these!) and went up to $38.00 for the large mason jars! In fact a few of you have already knocked off these great little globes.

Way back in early November I pinned these knowing that I would be recreating these for my kitchen this Christmas.  They couldn’t be easier to make and are seriously cute!  I wish I had some complicated tutorial to give you and you’d  think I was so clever and ingenious but really they are easy-peasy! 

Here’s what you need:

Supplies:

Variety of sizes of Ball Mason Jars with lids (already had jars)
Small glass salt shakers (plain with crome  lids I found mine at Garden Ridge)
Artificial snow
Miniature trees (I found mine at Dollar Tree *2 for $1 & the extra tiny one at WalMart .40 each)
small extras like mini pinecones, tiny silver % white ornaments, tinsel, etc.)

Total Cost Per Snow Globe: $1.00-1.25 per snow globe (a little more if you need to purchase jars)

Directions:

Decide on your little display for each jar.  For some you might want to remove the plastic bases and place the stems of the trees in small ornaments. 
You can also add various small ornaments and pinecones at the base of the trees. 
Once you decide on your vignette for each jar, add snow around the base of the trees and screw lid into bottom of jar.
That’s it!

Here is an up close view of the salt shaker snow globes. 

And, here are some more photos of the snow globes all ready for Christmas in my kitchen!

Do you like my DIY tiered tray? Would you believe most of the items are from the Dollar Tree?! I’ll share how I made this in a future post! Here’s some more pictures of the snow globes.

Here are the darling salt shaker ones. 

Did I mention they are $18.00 in the store?! Did I mention they are sold out!?

I love the addition of these cute paper cone trees.  An easy and free (if you have scrapbook paper around) addition to my snow globe vignette.

So do you think I did a good job knocking off the Anthropologie snow globes? How about when you know I saved $17-36 a globe!  

There are so many other fabulous projects you can do with mason jars during the Christmas season.  One that caught our eye was this amazing mason jar advent created by Kristin at Sweet Country Life.

Visit Kristin at her lovely blog to see a little more about this delightful sweet country advent, and how they are using it to remind them of the TRUE meaning of Christmas.

I am so excited that  you got a sneak peek at my kitchen…you’ll have to join me to see the rest this coming Friday when I host the Christmas in the Kitchen portion of the Christmas Blogger Block Party! 

Thank you for joining us this Sunday here At The Picket Fence.  May this first Sunday of Christmas be one of peace, hope and rest for you and your family! Take a moment to remember the WHY of this glorious time of year..friends, family and most importantly FAITH!

Don’t forget Debbie will be kicking off the Christmas Blogger Block Party later tonight with her Holiday Copycat Challenge…see you there!
