A homemade snow globe is a must for the holidays. I grew up with such classic ones with reindeers and a Santa scene inside. I still have a few of my kids snow globes.

I headed off to Dollar tree and purchased a bunch of mason jars to make a season classic snow globe. This is a fun craft for both adults and kids.

I am super excited to share my snow globe this month with the Thrifty Style Team hosted by the talented Julie from Redhead Can Decorate. Every month we share something that is affordable to make or decorate. This month challenge is something we love from our Christmas past. To me the snow globe was truly a special treat when I was growing up.

History of The SnoW Globe

The snow globe has been around since the 19th century. Interesting enough Austrian Erwin Perzy got the first patent to develop one. He actually was trying to develop a light source but instead he developed a snowy scene in a glass container. Later in the United States Joseph Garaja from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania got his patent and sold the first one with a fish scene. Though the years it became more and more popular for the holidays.
