Here’s What You Need

Here’s your Easy Paper Snow Globe supply list (This post contains affiliate links to the products mentioned. Read my disclosure policy for more information):

• Free Snow Globe Printable <— Get it Here!
• colored copy paper, colored cardstock, or construction paper
• scissors
• glue sticks
• cotton balls for snow
• white tempera paint or whiteout (at the Dollar store) for snowflakes

Step 1: Download and Print the Free Snow Globe Template

Download the Free Snow Globe Printable. In the next step, learn how to quickly cut out as many shapes as you need.

Step 2: Staple and Cut Out the Craft Shapes

Once you have the snow globe templates printed out, staple them to construction paper and cut out multiple shapes at a time.

Note: If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.

So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.

Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.

Step 3: How to Assemble

The kids will have so much fun making their snow globes!

I recommend having a snow globe that is already put together so the children can see what the final version will look like.

1. start with the blue circle
2. glue the smaller end of the brown base behind the blue circle
3. glue on the two trees
4. if you are making the Christmas trees, glue on the stars and decorations
5. pull apart a few cotton balls and glue them to base of the trees for snow
6. For the snow flakes: dip your fingertip into white paint and dab on snowflakes around the trees OR use the whiteout brush/pen to stamp snowflakes around the trees
7. don’t forget to write your name on the back

And you’re finished!

This is such a fun and simple Christmas craft for kids. This paper Snow globe is easy enough for preschool, elementary, Scouts or just a fun craft at home idea.
